“When you’re sick, your life is supposed to change. You’re supposed to want to settle old arguments, fund charities, commit random acts of kindness every day, solve all the world’s problems, and live every day as it was your last. But that isn’t how it works. You don’t have that kind of energy. Most days getting out of bed is comparable to climbing the tallest mountain, you’re bitter and jaded because you feel cheated out of life, your brain is too foggy and your memory too poor to be a problem solver, and the pain you’re in makes you angry, short tempered, and at times cruel. Yet you’re supposed to be an inspiration, just because you’re still living. Let me tell you, that isn’t how it works.”
