Some little pieces of advice you are given are all meant well. And I guess if I wasnt in the scenario, I'd probably say them too. But no matter how politely they are said and no matter how much love they are wrapped up in....they all come down to this:
You are strong.......I can beat an in curable disease which will 100% kill me can I?
You can do this.......I don't really have a choice
Live every day as if it was you're last.......really? Have you ever tried that?!
Be thankful for everyday....erm, no, some days are just shit!
It will get better...before or after I die?
You look really well......as a posed to what? Somebody who's isnt dying?
You could get hit by a bus tommorow....yes please, a lot quicker and maybe not as painful
I could get hit by a bus tomorrow....yes, but I am dancing around infront of the bus station with a flashing neon sign around my neck that says please hit me
You can't think like that....yes I can, I just did!
It's amazing how the most placid of people can become very opinionated!
