John Haughm Quotes
Life is what you make it. I can’t change the bullshit in the world but I can make my own life interesting while I have it. This is my outlook nowadays. The misanthropy still exists in me but it is a more cold, soulless view than just pure irrational hate. I think I have grown to appreciate the things that matter to me than bother myself with other people, for better or worse.
