Well, before I got ill I was really ambitious and working towards a lot of things. Now they're afraid to bring up anything that I was trying for or that I may ever try for again!
How do you feel about that? Would you rather talk about it, or does it bother you that they skirt the issue?
I'd rather talk about it. I spent a long time convincing myself that it was OK to give up my more ambitious goals, and it took a lot of personal strength for me to begin to recognize that completing smaller goals are victories too. I just wish people would recognize those little things that I've done, instead of talking in hushed whispers about what I'm never going to achieve.
