"I read this quote once when I was a kid, “we live alone, we die alone, everything else is just an illusion.” It used to keep me up at night.. we all die alone. So why am I supposed to spend my life working, sweating, struggling, for an illusion? Because no amount of friends, no girl, no assignment about conjugating the proof perfect, or determining the square root of the hypotenuse — is gonna help me avoid my fate."
