Day 29 Strengths

I had my hospital appointment today. They were checking for signs of cancer. The doctor asked me for how long have I noticed this abnormality? I answered 3 years.
3 Years.
Some cancer patients are given 3 years to live. I imagined if I had three years to live after discovering my abnormality. What had I done in that time that was worth while?? Nothing.. The sudden urge to do something reckless hit me. A burst of energy and anxiousness. If i had three years to live what will I do? I won't certainly be scared. To find strength and courage, imagine yourself in a terminal condition.
"All her life, she never saw a dead person.
There was no real sense of life because she had nothing to contrast it with.
Oh, but now there was dying and morse. Weeping and shuddering, terror and remorse.
Now that she knows where we're all going, Marla feels every moment of her life."
