When you think about life, it's funny really. some people want to die before it's even halfway over and some people want to live long after they reach their halfway point.
So that's our lives. Points, milestones, events, countdowns. That's all it will ever be. Numbers. All we are are numbers. The day we were born. The days, months, hours, seconds, years that we live. The day we die.
And it's still funny, you know? It's funny how after we die, that's when we're important. We can't even appreciate it then. They, the people who wouldn't give you the time of day when you were alive, they think that it'll make them look good. Maybe innocent. Maybe because they were the murderer all along.
And they were. They got exactly what they wanted without doing any of the work. You did it yourself. And you're still a nothing until you're in the newspaper. Then you're a star.
Congratulations! You're finally famous!
