Now that I've fallen into my own world of suffering, I am left to study the pain that has been experienced by humans that have preceded me in this world. Pictured above is Thomas Chatterton, found in his study after a suicide induced by arsenic. Chatterton was a prodigal english poet and lived only until the age of 17. His life was mercurial and troubled, the accompanying quotation reads - "Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight."

Life is incredibly unpredictable. One can be in the blossom of happiness and fruitfulness one moment, and life can be over in the next.
