At the very start of the book, she talks about how she isn't tied down by material things. She basically believes that if you just set your mind to something—not just wish for it, but truly intend it—the entire universe will conspire to make it happen. And hey, it worked; she beat cancer. Plus, she stays active and eats healthy. Everything kicks off with this big move. So, what do we think of her?
IQ and EQ aren't exactly the same thing when you look at them through different lenses. They represent different ways to measure success, which really makes the whole concept quite relative.😍
I was over in San Francisco earlier. My doctor there is such a gem—she’s honestly like a neighbor you can actually count on. Because of that, I ended up being prescribed more antidepressants. By "gem," I mean she's just incredibly kindhearted.😈
She even mentioned how surprised she was by how few people seem to visit the depression topic here.
I deal with this ongoing issue where I get chest pains that radiate out toward my back or ribs, but since I'm convinced it all stems from the heart, I can live with that. Nice to meet you Mr. New York, my husband and I are actually about to settle in to watch an episode of Voyager before we head to bed.🙄
Does it actually impact your social life?? I personally struggle quite a bit with typical social norms. And does it lead to any psychosomatic issues? Because I deal with plenty of those myself.🙄 😉
Thanks for the rating on the marriage bit, though if you ask me, anyone can find someone to tie the knot with. That’s really the least of our worries. What kind of meds is your wife on?
Ugh, New York City... honestly, I feel you, I’m also flying an F-22 It’s actually really heartening to see more examples like this out there. For instance, back in the day, my parents wouldn't even let me date a certain guy. But my husband? He’s such a rock for me. Even on those days when I’ve already mentally checked out of the marriage three times, he’s right there to remind me that I’m still human, too.
Everyone can tell when I haven't taken my medication. For instance, the last time I was driving, I got into a collision where the woman in the other car ended up with screws literally embedded in her hand and hip.
Who really knows I’ve just reached a point where I don't care anymore since I feel like I'm already gone inside If God actually existed, He would have taken me at seventeen—but we all know that isn't the case😕 🙄 😎 😉 👍 😉 😎 🙄 😕
"And why are you always heading back to the hospital? What happens when you go?"
Haha, well, I just wanted to be like John Nash🙂 🙂 though I’m definitely not a genius on his level. I stopped taking my meds—straight to the hospital, right? If you don't stay on top of things, you'll end up facing the People's Court. I haven't had to visit a hospital since 2004, ever since I started taking lithium and everything else every single day. It took me forever to finally accept that being a totally normal person includes taking medication.
One outfit for everything? I honestly need a different one for every single occasion. I used to have way more dresses, too—but goodness, they were all just for hooking up. I’d move to Vrapče in a heartbeat if I could, but Queens has much better access and the Subway is right there.
I totally get it! I feel like I’m building this karmic connection with my doctors. Honestly, realizing that is probably for the best for my own well-being😱
