If you weaken, I'll be strong. If you get lost, I'll be your way home. If you despair, I'll bring you joy. I will love you until the end of time.

My age makes me think how valuable life is. How bad is something like Parkinson's in relation to not having life at all?

I don't want to be responsible anymore. I don't want to have plans. I just want to float through the world.

Brave hearts do not back down back off.
