I want everyone to know that things are okay. That they were okay, they are okay, and they will continue to be okay. My mom was telling me about a patient she had the other day who was having so much more trouble functioning now that she'd been diagnosed with scoliosis. She was talking about her weekly visits to the chiropractor, who magically makes her back pain disappear, but only so long as she continues those weekly visits, and my mom sat there and listened. Then, she told the woman, "Just remember that you were operating and living your life just fine before you knew of this lifelong condition."
And this is something I think all people should consider. Like, before you had your boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, you were fine on your own. You'll continue to be fine. I don't know, maybe I'm just trying to ratify or justify the way people act, so as not to become completely misanthropic. I'm getting awfully close. Situations with my peers continue to get worse every day. But now, thanks to my mother, I can always see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Things were okay. Things are okay. Things will be okay.

if this was about me, partially, which i think it might be, please know that i am doing really, really, super, amazingly well and yes, everything is okay and will be okay. i'm not just saying this because i'm trying to trick myself into believing that, OMG, there is a world beyond david white's car, metallica, and sneaking around all the time, but because, as i have come to realize, there is. a world that likes me a lot better than the one i used to live in.
i'm okay.
