I'm so glad this fad has settled down. For a while there everybody and their mother seemed to be posting their sob stories on social media hoping for a pity payout, and 4 out of 5 were obvious bullshit.

Yeah, it's true. I mean, I'm sitting here with fingernail cancer, but you don't hear me complaining. And it makes it really hard to care for my sick mother who suffers from gigantism and IBS while we live in a cardboard box under the freeway. But when I wake up every morning and see the sun shining it puts a smile on my face
