I’M MAKING A LANDING STRIP FOR YOUR FACE PLANE. WITH ITS CARGO OF KISSES.
I WORRY ABOUT YOU SOMETIMES.
DON’T WORRY, CAPTAIN. WE’LL GUIDE YOU IN. JUST CONTINUE ON YOUR CURRENT COURSE.
I MEAN IT. I LOVE YOU, BUT THERE’S A WIRE OR TWO LOOSE IN THAT BRAIN OF YOURS.
EVERYTHING’S LOOKING GREAT. REVERSE YOUR ENGINES. BRING IT IN NICE AND SLOW.
I haven’t been well for a number of months now. It’s starting to freak me out, as it seems like it will not be going away soon, but still I am unable to work out what is wrong.
It has been a struggle, but the worst part has been people’s reactions. Today someone asked me “what are you up to this year?”.
Me: “Nothing at the moment. I haven’t really been well enough to do anything”.
Them: “Oh. That’s annoying.”
Why yes. Having to put my whole life on hold and deal with the uncertainty of being unable to drag myself out of bed for no identifiable reason is just merely a trifle inconvenient. It is merely annoying. Not soul destroying, or anything like that.
I guess the point is, be nice to the people in your life who are going through illness. Don’t be a jerk about it. If they disappear, make the effort to see them. Mostly, don’t be condescending. Just because it doesn’t show on the outside, doesn’t mean that their unwellness is any less.
