The fact that I’m alive
speaks to my acceptance of the reality of my present condition. Accepting the reality of now does not mean
accepting the inevitability of an unchanged future.
I am quite capable of
discerning the changes time has wrought from the changes due to illness, or in
my case the concomitant medications. I know
my own body and my own mind. If you have
struggled with low energy or other physical issues those are your challenges
and I wish you success in dealing with them.
That does not mean that I should expect or accept the same problems in
myself.
You have no idea what this
new normal you are advocating for entails. I have coped with a variety of symptoms that
interfered with my ability to function in life.
The worst of these are much reduced now, precisely because I did
not accept them as my new normal and instead vigorously pursued solutions. I am not done yet. Fuck acceptance.
