“I want more life, fucker”
What would you do if you only had five years to live?
Dear Reader, I regret to inform you that you have a rare, albeit painless terminal illness. This terminal illness is silent and unsuspecting, with no noticeable symptoms but it will kill you. I estimate based on my medical opinion, that you have somewhere between five to ten years to live. I’m sorry if this is not what you were expecting - but I hope you take this news well.

What’s the Least your life could be?
Don’t look up the stars and think you need to reach them. Don’t think that your life will be incomplete if you don’t make it to the moon. Those stars are a long way away.

We cannot be certain that you will get there. We cannot be certain how long it will take. Also, we cannot be certain that if you make it there, you will like what you
How to gage insecurity from bikini and 6-pack photos
Thousands of young men will protest me writing this article. It is sure to reduce the number of bikini photos that young women post on Instagram. There will be fewer 6-pack photos as well. One of the criticisms of social media is that it exacerbates insecurity, that it gives unrealistic standards for the rest of us to compare our bodies and lives to. All those people with chiseled abs and luscious curves harm the self-image of those of us out there who will never look like them. But what if the dad-bods and curves-in-the-wrong places aren’t the only ones suffering? What if the 6-packs

I was fourteen years old and devastated on having missed out. What did I miss out on? On being one of the captains of my year group at school. Two of my good friends got it instead, and I came third. Well, I decided that I was not going to come third next year. I wanted to be a grade captain, and knew I’d be a good one. So I decided for next year I would leave nothing to chance I began a habit.
