Deep gratitude as defiance, a form of “Fuck you” to anyone or anything that wants to keep you down.
“What if you are diagnosed with cancer, or even worse, you’ve been suffering from cancer for months?”
Deep gratitude that I’m still alive. I still have a chance to beat it.
“What if you have terminal cancer, with mere weeks to live?”
Deep gratitude that I still have time to get my affairs in order.
“What if you have actually died from the cancer?”
Deep gratitude that the pain is over.
“Okay, what if you’re a man and you’re in a fight and it’s not going well?”
Deep gratitude that I’m still standing.
“What if you’ve actually lost the fight?”
Deep gratitude that I’m still alive.
“What if the other guy actually killed you?”
Deep gratitude that I don’t have to deal with assholes like him anymore.
