Why is that? I think it's a really exciting technology.
I lack the eloquence to describe the look on her face when she found out about it. But her answer was, "Oh, great, so I can trade in the problems I have now for new ones we can't even accommodate yet!"
She's very much an enemy you know type of person.
I’ve healed various parts of myself that have been fucked up, mostly mentally and emotionally, and when I’ve found myself normally able, the first reaction I have is grief. For all the years before I even knew such things existed.
I steer, on purpose, into gratitude, and I take what I can get. But there’s a little secondary voice that wants to be bitter and hold it against people who had the ability while young.
As someone with physical disabilities I grieve the life I had before them and the things in life I won't be able to do in the future. Like spend a full lifetime with my kids.
Bitterness is not a reason to avoid a cure if one is available.
