I used to think there were healthy people and sick people. Turns out there are no healthy people at all. Everybody's got something. My husband sometimes can't walk. And he sometimes can't breathe. And he sometimes can't eat. And he sometimes can't speak. What about yours? Sometimes I can't think. And I can't get up. And I can't stop thinking. And I can't sit still. And I can't start. And I can't stop. And I can't hope. And I can't forget. And I can never remember. And I can't live. And I can't die. And I can't remember why. Sometimes I want to just blip out of existence, like I never took up space to begin with. Sometimes. What about you? What about you?
