I have a very severe, very rare post birth defect. It's a mix between a terminal lung disease, cardiovascular problem, tendon elasticity problem and cognitive issue. Think cystic fibrosis with tachycardia, with a mix of mild dementia. The prognosis is ... shit to say the least. Some of the major problems though that have become worst over time are becoming even more apparent now. I noticed that my lungs sound horrible, and have become so reactive to the elements, i get sick close to once a week. I can barely do any exercise anymore, since that make me sick too. Sadly I know how this ends, and it ends in a corpse, and the severity of the symptoms tell me that the condition is accelerating in its decline. I could get away with being healthy looking 10 years ago, but now, its become clear my body is failing on me. The problem is its getting really hard to bullshit this disease as inconsequential at this point

You made it into adulthood. Congratulations, you beat out millions around the world who die in childhood every year. We're all going to die. None of us get out of this alive. If you worship the Devil and drink baby blood, you may be able to extend your normal lifespan by around 20 years, but after that you die anyway. We're all going through the same gate. What happens then is a matter of religious faith. But the one certainty in life is death. So if you die a few decades earlier than someone else, is that really the end of the world? You got to do dumb shit like the rest of us. You got to post on the Internet. You enjoyed the taste of macaroni. You stepped into a cold shower. You stubbed your toe. You cried yourself to sleep at night over the unbearable tragedy of human existence, just like the rest of us. Enjoy what you've got left, when you can. That's all any of us can do.
