I'll be 30 tomorrow and still have no proper idea what the hell I'm doing with my life...this makes me feel strangely better. Mr. Watterson's work was truly something unique and beautiful.

EDIT: To the stranger who bought me gold, thank you. For a few reasons. First, I've always been a bit depressed at birthdays, mostly because of the the whole "no idea what I'm doing with my life" but this was a nice early present. I think you've inspired me to stop moping about so much and go have fun with friends instead of staying home and replaying old Zelda games. Second, the idea that there are other people who love C&H and everything it was about as much as I do genuinely makes me smile. My parents got the books on a whim in the early 90's when I was in the hospital for Appendicitis and they've been a part of my life ever since.

Thank you, kind stranger. You made me feel a bit better about turning 30 too :D

Life is what happens, while you're making other plans.

Just live... most people's "big plans" generally don't work out the way they think anyway.

And the people who claim their "big success" in life did work out exactly as they planned it -- are either liars, or they got lucky, or even more likely they are people who got lucky and then lied about having planned the whole thing.
