@queercat That's true, but I just think they could of guided themselves to a better lifestyle and if not live with what they had but in the right way, it's complicated I just hope this generation is smarter and hold on to their relationships with family and and still have fun, because I do agree we need to have fun in life but try and live a normal and honest life then live it up knowing you have a home and family to go back to.

@Storywithin People do the best with what they got. They may have died young, but while they were alive, they lived it up!
