What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
When you know that you’re going through lows and that you’re going to get out of it. You are on your way to perfect happiness. But there’s no such thing as it’s not. There’s nothing as perfect happiness. When you’re happy, you’re happy. You’re sad, you’re sad.

Anxiety

But other than surgery, there was nothing else she was going, she would die in surgery as well because of the anesthesiology on only a week old.
