Home Truths

Apparently this is true:

Debby Mills-Newbroughton, 99 years old, was killed as she crossed the road. She was to turn 100 the next day, but crossing the road with her daughter to go to her own birthday party her wheelchair was hit by the truck delivering her birthday cake.

Apparently this is false:

At some point in my life things will change; I'll be different, I'll wake up happy. Fully matured, I'll bloom magnificently into the person I've wistfully wished to be, always in control, never controlled. I'll meet the girl who'll complete me, who'll improve me, who'll move me. I'll have fufilling relationships, I'll earn enough, there'll be no bad habits, only positive learning experiences. My career will be an expression of my person rather than the definition. I'll love freely, being freely loved.
