There are two ways to live our lives , the easy way and the hard way , if you choose to live the hard way , stop expecting anything at all , don't get your hopes high , no matter how good you are , you'll get fucked up every single time and you have to accept it , get back up and try again , I'm not saying that this time you will get through , believe me you'll get fucked up over and over ! That's what it is ! Its life. Then comes the easy way , its how soon you realize that you have to learn it the hard way !

Possibility exists in every adversity.
