I'm not a table. I do not need function beyond my form. Sum, ergo sum, if you will.

I have a very real illness that places adversity in my life. I'm currently on a disability leave from work, and I constantly check various aspects of my health (heart rate, temperature, etc) to make sure that I'm not having any major complications. I keep having people tell me how hard it is and how unfair it is that I have to deal with this so young, but to me it's just what I deal with. I don't attribute it to some higher power or deeper meaning. I just live my life. I don't know how to do anything else.

I'm taking liberties by replying in defense of what willravel said, but I reckon we're on the same page on this one (and know for a fact he'll correct me if we're not).
