Cancer

It’s a pretty heavy word when it gets applied to you. It has a way of clarifying the thoughts.

When it was applied to me, I found I couldn’t deal with bullshit, didn’t want to deal with bullshit, and in fact, had the absolute right not to have to deal with bullshit. I only wanted the real deal around me. I had absolutely no interest in playing Let’s Pretend. I wanted reality and positivism around me. If I were to free myself of this plague, that seemed the best way.

Since I am the one with the cancer, it seems that I get to decide how I’ll approach it, thank you very much
