Fuck yeah. Keep it going. This disease sucks but there are silver linings… I’ve definitely been more aware of the life I have since a year ago. Currently in complete remission, but it will come back. But whether it’s going to be 5 or 20 years to exit day I hold my daughters a little tighter than I used to, the world seems a little shinier than it was and sweating the small stuff is a bit more frictionless. My wife can tell when I’m not on the thinking about it train because I resort to mildly grumpy type.

99% of the fight you can impact is the way you allow your attention to dwell on death. We’re all going to die, and in a way that makes a mockery of everything we do in life. But there is also no reason to not find the joy in this fragile, fleeting existence.

man, I watch a lot of Norm MACdonald content because of how he spoke about death and I think you nailed it as he said much of the same thing. Apparently had little spoke about stomach cancer in his 20s - and then given his later Lymphoma/Leukemia, it changes the whole tone of his meanderings - a bit darker, but also very deep and encouraging.
