Today Quote by Kara Timmins
““That's kind of the thing of it, isn't it? We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. After so many days of waking up and knowing that the only possible difference between today and yesterday was that someone might die. I'm fine going along and doing exactly what I want to do. We don't really need to figure out what's going to happen next, because something is going to happen to us no matter what. All we have to do is be alive.””
