Trying To Not Make It About Me

I don't want to make it all about me. Recently I saw something on twitter which was all about that person. When in fact. They weren't the one experiencing what was happening. And I don't want to do that.

Today I had the hospital. It's been a tough week. Tired. Never cope well when I'm like this. 

Just before I went into the hospital an email. Last week I found out a guy I was at school with died. Today I found out how. 

Cancer. 

Last week a funeral. 

Cancer. 

Today someone from twitter died. 

Cancer. 

A Facebook update from someone. It's back. 

Cancer. 

The reason I am tired. 

Cancer. 

The reason I was at the hospital. 

Cancer. 

I feel like death and cancer are following me around. I know this is selfish and self-indulgent. I am by no means the only person affected. And in all his honesty don't know these people well. 

And then the age old. Why I am I alive, and ignoring those fucking annoying leukaemic cells that won't fuck off and be killed by my own immune system and need chemotherapy to do it, healthy. 

Why am I still here when those who didn't smoke, drank less that me and have been healthier than I have been died? 

And today someone at the hospital said we are so lucky. I don't feel lucky today. 

I am so full of self pity. I hate this.
