Taking things too seriously is how you get ulcers. But you can't take things too lightly, or else you'll wind up living on a street corner, using discarded Burger King wrappers as a makeshift blanket. So... there are levels. And you have a dwindling amount of time to figure it all out. Ever dwindling. Ever approaching is that point of no return. Creeping, creeping, creeping towards you. One day you'll wake up and realize it's all gone, and there's no way back.
Happy birthday, is what I am saying.
