I'd get a passport and go somewhere where I can legally end my life on my own terms.
I know that I am not going to live to see my own retirement and I'm okay with that. I've already lived a lot longer than the initial prognosis that they gave me anyway.
I guess that the only thing that I'm scared of is being forgotten... to know that I was so insignificant that no one thinks about me or remembers me fondly.

@HootyTheNightOwl @HootyTheNightOwl Oh my, I'm crying. Why will no one remember you? You are a lovely person and i only know your few sentences!
@Mikla I have few friends and I haven't done anything particularly remarkable with my life.
Honestly, I don't care about not being Ms. Popular because people drain me over time anyway - but it would be nice to be remembered in the same way that I remember the people who made their marks on my life.

@HootyTheNightOwl You will be, the same way YOU remember! As for unremarkable, how many made there life remarkable? Remarkable is, to me anyway, my nice cozy house, my husband who also has brain issues (quite the pair, right?) but most of all my beautiful "boy", my son . (he's 30, but still..)
@Mikla I had hoped to have had some sort of career, though, instead of having to fight the state over what I can't do any longer... or have a family of my own - which I have given up on the idea of by now.
For me, those things would have been more remarkable than how I'm having to spend my life.

@HootyTheNightOwl I'm so sorry my friend. I wish I had the right words...
@Mikla It's okay, I know that, if it's meant to be, I will find a way to make it so... eventually.
I'm currently looking forward to trying out an idea that I got tonight. Hopefully, that will bear some fruit for me.

@HootyTheNightOwl Will you ever be back on here?
@Mikla I'm here quite a bit, so I shouldn't be that hard to find in future... 🙂
