News from several friends has prompted this post. Tonight I am frustrated and angry (yes, angry) for my friends.
And it does conjure memories of my past.
What happens when those around us give up on us? When institutions and policies do not provide for us?
And why do they? and is it ok?
It is not really ok-no. But it is human nature, and it is not our position to judge but to accept. We can not ask anyone to give more than they are capable of giving, or understanding any more than they can. We are in the position that we are in, because of our actions. We can not ask anyone else to save us but ourselves. Is it fair that there are not enough treatment options, no. Is it fair that people outside of us do not understand how HARD it is to recover, no. Is it fair that sometimes people would rather turn away, than roll up their sleeves and fight this with us, no. But, should that make you roll over and give up and die either. HELL NO.
It is your life, and if you want it- YOU ultimately have to be the one to fight for it in the end.
