I yearn for more spiritual things. I’ve always had an itch to join a monastery like the Benedictines or Trappists. But with my med requirements I don’t think they’d accept me.

I usually think of myself as the luckiest person alive but at the minute I’m heaviest ever and not impressively fit
And I’m going downhill now with age
I hate what ifs
I’m gonna stay away from what ifs
I’d still have got into playwriting just 17 years earlier and would have ended up prob with a column or as a reviewer
I’m a founding member of Coffee House Theatre Company
Small theatres are showing my work.
I wonder if I’d have achieved big without it
I don’t know, I never really wanted to be a part of corporate America. I did however want to be a teacher on the college level. I love anthropology and geography. I got sick st 24 so basically my young adult life got sabotaged. Those precious years can never be recouped. I’m 39 now and I would just be happy with being ok. I’m still not ok.

My career with computers was all set up before it was taken away from me, I worked as a system administrator, as well as doing some graphic design and web development jobs on the side, though my career plan was to solely be a systems administrator.
Though I would have loved to be able to join the army or work within an area of specialist operations within the police.

I could have been a parapelegic, been blind and deaf, have missing limbs, have stage 4 cancer at age 3, died of starvation in a famine, died on the front lines of a war, or could have suffered a severe injury to my testicles rather than be bored in an apartment with plenty of food and water able to walk having suffered no pain worse than a sprained ankle, and plantar fasciitis, and be able to see, and hear. I’m so darn unlucky man.

I tell my self that stuff too, and then I walk outside and see thousands of people who aren’t handicapped physically AND mentally rushing around living their lives. Don’t mean to burst your bubble but being psychotic almost as bad if not worse than being dead, in my opinion at least.
If you get cancer, you die with dignity. If you go down in a plane crash you leave loved ones behind and you’re remembered fondly. If you have sz. You can live your whole life in isolation and never be able to connect with your own mother and father like a normal human being again. There aren’t many things worse than this

I’m sure I would have done much greater things and be in a much better place in life. As a kid I was labeled as “gifted,” considered among the brightest of the bright. As a young adult I had professors and doctors telling me I’m a genius. I supposedly had limitless potential at one time. Now I scrape by working part-time jobs (I’ve never had a real career), living in a ghetto, with few friends and have had few girlfriends.
On the other hand, I think I am doing quite well for someone with my diagnosis 
. I mean, I’m able to work, have my own place, have a few friends and have had a couple serious romantic relationships. So, I suppose I’m not doing all that shabby, just maybe not where I “should” be in life.

My Marine Corps career was ended early but I was retired and I would’ve been a commercial airline pilot if I hadn’t of gotten sick. Now I’m going to school to be an aircraft mechanic so we’ll see

I think I still could become something great. I have many interests, mostly scientific in nature. I think once I get my illness and finances under control, I will be able to pursue one of those interests and make something of it.
I do mourn for the time I’ve lost to illness though.

I have no idea. Before I got sick I was intelligent, but I had very few other gifts or skills. I was terrible with people, I did drugs, shy, withdrawn no real goals or dreams. Never looking past a week at a time into the future.
Don’t get me wrong though. I had a lot of fun before I got sick and I had a few friends and we got around. I had my little adventures.

I’m usually a person who practices radical acceptance and sees each obstacle a just one thing.
But this sucks. Yeah I could have become what I was and to my way to be. Can’t sugar coat it cause my functioning affects everything. I like WHO I am though.
