Consider this:

The world is full of opportunities, exciting adventures, wonderful tastes, unique smells. I sit on my couch and watch them pass me by. In the past, I would run so fast, I would forget to live. And now, I watch everyone live it.

We are capable of Choice, although our choices do not always change our current situation.

I can choose to be healthy.

Yet my body has a different idea.

So, I am left here.

Watching everyone live life.

Trying to remember what it feels like to feel alive.

Trying to remember how to be alive, without, thinking about IT. The IT, the ticking clock, that changed my life.
