“Mediocrity disgusts me. Being normal never made sense.” — Michael “The Monster” Todd

 “They’re not forced to work — they live for it. A dog without purpose isn’t happy, and I don’t think people are any different.”

The story ends the same for all of us — so let it rip while you’re here. You're not obligated to exist — but you're here. So why not give it hell?

"You weren’t broken—you were doing your best with the tools you had at the time. Shame won’t heal you. Understanding will." — Dr. Adi Jaffe
