Sometimes Life is sucking me in places where I don't want to be sucked. And I don't appreciate the hickies.

Isn't that called nibbling? Nibbling = as good as sucking. Opinion on biting: unchanged.

It is important to remember that reality is a concept, admittedly a concept we use to refer to things that are independent of our powers of perception but nevetheless it is still a concept and as such it changes over time. For instance flying pigs are conceivable but not real. Were we however to discover a planet with flying pigs, then they would move into our concept of what is real. Things that are conceivable but not yet substantiated are not commonly considered real even though they might well be).

Reality is the moment in which you exist right now. Your past and the future are just stories you make up about those moments.

If you believe in the infinity of time and space, then other dimensions exist and somewhere, in some dimension not only CAN anything happen, it HAS to happen. yea?
