Some people seem to thrive on misery.

It is the only thing they have in life.

I learned that the hard way, and now I don't let my heart get broken anymore, I still care though but not surprised anymore when they bitch

10 stories on the news, nine will be negative and horrific.

I lived in France for the first 13 years of my life... the people complain about everything all the time!
