    I recently came to the realization that staying alive to prevent my share of an inheritance from going to the greedy bitch who married my father late-in-life is a reason to stay alive. That’s fucking sad as fuck.

    Don’t get me wrong. I love my life. But when something so dark and grim can be phrased as a positive, things are really wrong.

      Spite can be a very effective motivator too, you know, lol! To live in spite of the shitty world around us, I see that as kinda romantic, even heroic.
