Life Quote by A.S. King
““I know I will have better times in my life, and I might even make myself into someone important, but if the whole time I have to deal with assholes, then what's the point? ...instead of shutting me up over it, why can't they answer me? I think it's because they feel bad for not making it fair. Rather than actually fix it, they freak out on kids who say things like, "I'd rather suck truck fumes than go through one more day of this place." Hasn't everyone said something like that at least once?...Mom says Nader is a loser who will grow up to be a loser and that I'll understand when I'm forty. But I want to understand now.””
