Remember, friends: the purpose isn't to 'win' in this thing called life. It is to experience it all, as deeply as you can. The joys, the pleasures, the sadnesses, and the pains. Drink deep of it all, and know that no matter how it ends, or where you ultimately wind up, you alone have had your experience. No one can ever be you. Find someone to share that unique experience with, and hear their own, and make it through this life together for as long as you can. Love completely; none of us are getting out alive, but that shouldn't frighten you. It unites us in empathy and understanding. Live well, everyone.
