Wow.
There is no expectation that I will ever be on the other side of it.
And while that was crushing in a lot of ways, I have no choice but to accept it.
I have no choice but to coexist with the facts of my mortality.
I won't say that my anxiety has dissipated, but it's shapeshifted.
You know, the word resilience gets thrown around, but for us to be here in this room, having this conversation, our ancestors had to survive so many things.
We have resilience and adaptability encoded in our DNA.
And so, you know, thank you for sharing that.
And I so deeply understand it.
And, you know, at my lowest point last summer when I learned this news, I was back in treatment.
I was using a walker, which at 33 is not the thing that you expect that you'll be doing.
And I had this really difficult moment of realizing, you know, this quality of life is not the quality of life that I want for myself.
And I don't know how to go on.
And it was this really scary moment because...
I had never really reached the limits of what I thought I could endure up until that moment.
And I couldn't do, you know, the things that I loved.
For a while, I was on a medication that caused my vision to double.
And so I couldn't write.
I couldn't journal.
And that felt like such a deep loss.
