honestly, i think i would rather be dead. life is hard enough while i can function without any help, and i wouldn't want to put the burden of helping me live onto anyone. my life isn't so precious to ruin the lives of my family members, and the other people around me that have to take care of me day and night. i don't know, to me death seems sweeter than a life half lived. to feel so useless... so vulnerable and broken... i would hate it.
man, that seems to be the loaded question right now. the obvious answer for myself would be to just pull the plug. i mean, i would never have the chance to live the life that i would want, no traveling, no getting married, no having kids. even if i was conscious enough, i'd be confined in a hospital bed still needing assistance for the most basic things.
i'd like to leave on a good note, you know? you're supposed to live life to the fullest. if you've done all you can already, and can't go any further-- (in fact, you'd be reverting), what's the point? if there's a chance i'd get better, that's a different story, but if not i just don't see the point.
i'm really sorry to hear about your friend though. it's really not fair that this is happening to him so young. :/
I think I would rather die... I don't think I can handle the weight of knowing that I will be needing others to take care of me because it will be such a burden to them no matter what they think... I hope your boy scout gets better. I wish him nothing but the best. Send him my regards please.
oh my. i'm terribly sorry. cancer really, really sucks so much. at 16 it seems so unfair to have to go through something like that. at 16, you've lived a short life, but why extend it to live only half a life and have to endure it for who knows how long? it's scary, and it can be harsh. honestly, i'd rather be dead. what's life without your mind?
i'm hoping for strength for your scout. and i'm hoping the docs will work some magic.
