I currently find myself having time—perhaps more than most—to consume endless perspectives on reality. Luckily, my disease isn’t mortal. Eventually these treatments will be less confining, maintained via shots at home. Still, it reminds me how precious a healthy life is. I can’t help but want to remind others.
Alas, as I sit receiving treatment, held hostage in a chair I’ve affectionately named The Throne of New Perceptions, I watch the world around me “scream” about everything it can’t stand in others… while doing exactly the same thing itself.
The hypocrisy is both suffocating and hilarious.

Life is too short to live in self-deception, blind to our own contradictions while criticizing everyone else. I’ve seen firsthand how easily people justify their own actions while condemning the same behavior in others. This isn’t just frustrating—it’s a trap that keeps us from growth, accountability, and real integrity. My experiences have forced me to slow down, observe, and recognize how precious time and truth really are. If we want a better world, we have to start by being honest with ourselves first.
