I'm a Nurse, but I've taken some leave to get away. I work in hematology with cancer patients. A lot of the time, it's not successful, but we do our best. Some patients can be in the worst agony, but they never complain. Disfigured and wiped out, but they're selfless. You strip them bare. They come in as a person, and they leave a shell. We get to know them and their families, and they become a part of you.

My biggest struggle at the moment is I'm sore and exhausted. I'm fucking exhausted. The body just wants to walk. The spirit just wants to walk cause I haven't been drinking for seven days. I just walk and walk, and I'm exhausted to the point where I want to sleep, but I can't. Strength building, that's all that is.
