Gain a little perspective.

And don’t pay any attention to this video, but the song came on while I was reading this story. I used to listen to this cassette over and over when I was 11.

Klara Behrens knows she hasn’t got much longer to live. “Sometimes, I do still hope that I’ll get better,” she says. “But then when I’m feeling really nauseous, I don’t want to carry on living. And I’d only just bought myself a new fridge-freezer! If I’d only known!”

Not. It’s April Fool’s Day, silly. You know what that means? I’m going to call my mom in just a few hours, giggling like a schoolgirl, and say, “You will never guess.” And for .7694 of a second, my mom will think I’m getting married. And making my mother gasp has been a good reason to wake up every morning since I was 12.
