Things about my life that would be true even if I didn't have cancer

I don't know how long I will be alive.

Some days I feel a tender appreciation for nature.

Some days I say, "Fuck Nature. I'm staying in bed."

The work of the world will not be completed by the time I die.

I'm going to do as much of that work as I can by the time I die.

I talk to strangers. (By the way, isn't "strangers" the worst word ever???)

I think a lot.

I love people.
