Around the corner Quote by Jeremy G
“Well, if your like most people, you'll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out,the you'll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, waiting for everything to go wrong all over again,all the while becoming crusty and cynical,or a pathetic,sniveling victim, until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up,or,even worse, become addicted to billy Joel songs,this is crazy, because you're only young once,and you're never old twice,who knows what fantastic things are in store just around the corner?,after all, the world is full of amazing discoveries, things you can't even imagine now,”
