Who wouldn't want to spend 15 minutes with you?
I completely agree.
But yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
But I believe that you don't have to find the silver lining.
You don't have to feel grateful for some terrible thing that has happened to you.
But we can all find a small thing to love.
You know, the irony is I'm a deeply guarded person.
I'm not comfortable with vulnerability.
I have to constantly overcome my own instinct to self-protect in order to open myself up to, you know, vulnerability.
cultivate relationships that are born of a kind of honest, deep sharing, in part because I know those are really the only kinds of relationships I'm interested in having and that feel worth having.
But this crew of friends who I befriended, there were 10 of us, only three of us are still alive.
And my impulse after that was to never befriend someone who was sick because I couldn't
bear the thought of losing a beloved again.
And yet, my favorite moments in my life have been shared with that group of people.
And they really taught me what friendship meant.
And I would suffer that loss and that grief and that heartache over and over and over again to just get one day with them.
Mm-hmm.
But I remember, you know, early on in my friendship with this group of people, they were all in their 20s and early 30s and we had all been in treatment for quite a long time to the point that we were going to, you know, chemotherapy by ourselves and trying to do things a little more independently.
And we formed a buddy system together.
We would accompany each other to radiation.
