On-screen text

People are so focused on somebody else's life that they forget that they have their own life. They're so worried about what someone else thinks They're so worried about what they might say. But you face reality and you realise that you're gonna die alone. It doesn't really matter what you think about someone else. Nor what they think of you. Cause at the end of the day, it's you that you should be worried about.
