I want the “life’s a bitch and then you die. Sometimes … sometimes life’s a bitch and then you keep living” tattooed, but I want to somehow reword it so I won’t feel embarrassed about it in like 10 years Any tips?

    1. Don’t get a tattoo of something you are unsure you’ll like in 10 years.
    2. The quote does not work without the two parts. The first sentence is a reflection of life is all about pain and then it ends*, and the second sentence subverts this idea by reminding us that life is about pain, but you have to keep going. Two separate but linked ideas. The second part does not work without the first.

    *see Annie Hall: One old lady: “The soup at this deli is terrible”. Another old lady: “Yeah, and such small portions!”
