Lost mine in ‘97. It sucked but life is such a weird experience, I think there’s a real good chance we’ve been here before. I’m just moving forward and doing the things I hope don’t make me look like a bitch when we meet again.

Once you have cleared out your parent’s house, you look at your own house and realize how much pointless stuff you have too.
