About This Quote

Life is a big fat gigantic stinking mess, that's the beauty of it, too. A lot of people think life is all about fun and games and that no matter what you do it will all be perfect and that everything will go well for you. The truth is life is full of ups and downs and nothing will ever be perfect. When people think life is perfect they forget the struggle and the pain that living brings.

Things don’t always go smoothly and we have to deal with hardships everyday. We can’t just expect everything to be perfect and we can’t just sit back and let things happen to us. We have to take control of our lives and make sure we take care of important decisions.
