Margret, I didn't buy the bullshit from the start. January 2020 I began urinating blood which worsened throughout the year.

Margret, I didn't buy the bullshit from the start. January 2020 I began urinating blood which worsened throughout the year. I believed I had a cancer, (later confirmed), which gave me a certain view of the world and my own mortality. During this period I was spending large amounts of time watching alternative information outlets. Bongino was one of these. Remarkably he announced his dx with cancer. And during that announcement he said "it's going to be ok. And if it's meant not to be ok then it'll be ok". This is the epitome of acceptance. When I accept in my soul that we all die and keep that acceptance present in all my daily affairs, there wasn't anything left to fear. I spent that entire year unable to obtain treatment for severe bleeding because a perfectly treatable respiratory illness and it pissed me off. End of 2020 I was dx and operated on. I looked at everyone masking and isolating as cowards afraid of a cold while I'm dealing with cancer... It seemed absurd to me. So COVID never evoked in me a sense of fear. I just did into the information and stood against the fear porn. Then when the unneeded jab came I stood against that. The cancer was a blessing.
Goodness, Stevec1776, thank you for sharing that remarkable experience and your unique perspective. Thank goodness, you beat it, but your Stoicist attitude is also a very healthy one to have. Radical Acceptance (see Tara Brach) is an incredibly empowering way to confront adversity.
If you only knew the adversity I've experienced in my 60 years. Maybe sometime I'll chronical them. But I suck so bad at writing I always decide otherwise.

Definitely start a Substack! Sharing your stories is more important than perfection.
Jerez I can't even use the right word for accept...😂 What a tard.
😆
Wouldn't know how to begin.
Technically or narratively? If the former, see Substack Help for Writers (https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002403472-Writers). If the latter, just start at the beginning of your memories and keep going :-)
"Technically or narratively?"
Yes.
😹
Merry Christmas...😉
