I've had to come to turns with my mortality after losing both my parents in the last two years. Neither of them lived long enough to see my 30th birthday.

When I lost religion, soured on the the world, and started looking forward to death. I've never regained my faith, though I don't really look forward to dying as living has its perks. Highs with the lows and all.

The same way everyone else does... we die. But with marginally less comfort depending on the strength of your resolve, rationality, and character.
So the world goes on, we all end up statistics, but you can't let that cripple your ability to live until that happens.

My mom had 2 boys and 1 girl before me and wanted another girl and was going to name me Lee Ann. I turned out to be a boy so she changed it to Lee Andrew but my friends call me Liam. I live in Birmingham, Al but my family is from Pittsburgh.
