so...

it only took one question, a simple "how's life?", to turn it into something much more meaningful.

he told me life's treating him normally; he just has to deal with some stuff.

and that's fair, because it's not about how life treats you at all.
it's what you make of it.

"it's the way you choose to see what's coming at you, and the way you choose to catch it."

life gives everyone crap, and the ones who end up happy are the ones who take it and turn it into something better.

let's not talk about equal opportunity here. don't compare our lives to those living in poverty, or the ones really less fortunate. that's a slightly different story.

just think about what you have. yes, life will throw you some curve balls; it'll flatline at some stage too. but nothing is terminal. what you end up with hangs on what you do with what you're given.

it's not about what happens.

it's all down to you.
