When I turned twenty, I was under the impression that life was going to be a party for the next ten years. I was sorely mistaken. You see... I was warned about a couple things: my metabolism will decrease, I'll get fatter, academic work will get harder, I'll have to pay taxes; but there are a lot of things no one warned me about.

Hey brother! Do you think there’s a life after death? Do you believe in God?
Nah, I don’t believe these things, I’m an atheist. I mean have you ever seen God?
So, think about it!
p/s: Make sure you are in the right path! THE RIGHT PATH. If you’re not sure, then search for it! ;)
