Destiny Quote by Sharon Stevenson
““I've developed some kind of psychosis from being forced to do a job I hate because it's my 'destiny'. Only there's no such thing as destiny and there's no such thing as soul-mates. It's biology and it sucks ass so hard I've had a pleasant little mental break. I'm going to the pub now. Put my pizza in the fridge for tomorrow. Thanks." - Shaun Gallows””
