If We're Being Honest

 Page 1442

A casual conversation with my patient today.

Patient: 'How old are you? 

Me: 'My age? 25.'

Patient: 'Wah... that's a good age'

Me: 😅 'It is?

Patient: 'Yeah... Good age.'

*Caregiver chimes in*

Caregiver: '25? Wah. Must enjoy life ok?'

Me: *Nods and smiles* 'Of course.'

----------------------------------------------------------------

That's the reality I guess.

If we're being honest.

Time doesn't slow down.

Life doesn't stop for you.

It gets more complicated.

I've seen a lot...

Of people with regrets.

People who didn't ask for their sickness.

People who had to alter their life plans because of it.

People who suffer, each time I see them.

Nobody is truly mentally prepared for any illness to fall upon them.

Life is truly.. too short.

So we make do with what we have.

Do what we want to.

While we still can.

For our own happiness.

Love, Eran.

Current Song Mood: Novo Amor - If We're Being Honest 

You called me up in August
Said, "Meet me at the chapel pines"
Just to feel American

Bury me in orbit
Marry me on 565
Yeah, that was just adrenaline

You're probably right, if we're being honest

Isn't it ironic
How I'm kind of falling out of time?
It's messing with my serotonin

So call me back in August
On the 11th I'll be 29
I appreciate the sentiment

But honestly I
If we're being honest
Should've said my own goodbye
And honestly I
If we're being modest
I could've let my feelings slide

Yeah, you're probably right, if we're being honest

I feel shallow
If I could, I'd make it all come back and I would stay a while longer
If I could, someday I'd like to say, "I'm letting go"

I feel shallow
If I could, someday I'd like to say, "I'm letting go"
