This haunted me so.
It took me back to a time when I was in hospital. I was going through extreme anxiety and I thought someone was out there to kill me.
The horrors of the mind when you start to realise that you might not make it out alive; the people you are going to miss, the experiences you'll never have.
You begin to realise that which you take for granted. I used to think of my mother a lot at that age, I was young, still in my very early 20's, and even though my mother annoyed me eternally -- the thought of never seeing her again sent chills down my spine.
Of course, anxiety episodes fade, and with medication I was brought back to normal -- but every experience was now sweetened by 1000x knowing that I had a lifetime to have it all.
It's funny how life and death does this to us.
Good post Hope. We were all rooting for you. I'm really glad you kept fighting!

It’s really funny how the thin line between life and death gives us the realest lessons because it is only at that point we appreciate even the smallest things around us.
Thank you so much for always rooting for me and for this opportunity, Ray. 🤗
