&lt;blockquote&gt;let’s live excitedly, happily, thankful that we are still living and therefore can change our circumstances.  We have a lot of opportunity, let’s not forget that there is a lot of beautiful shit in this world.  How can I ever feel sad when I know that waterfalls exist?  And the fact that someone somewhere is having a pancake breakfast right now.  There are beaches to walk on at night, I could drive to one tonight.  It would be that easy.  Depression is just closed blinds and pillows.  Waterfalls, you guys.  Waterfalls and pancakes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
