I stopped talking to my friends because they all started seeming really annoyed hearing about my struggles with cancer. I know they're going through their own problems as well, but it certainly made me feel like I was just a burden on them. I suppose I was right, because it's been over six months and no one has reached out, including my oldest friend who just never responded to me when I told them I had cancer.

I am dead weight, but that's because of a sick fucking economic system that doesn't care if I live or die.
