You really have an appreciation for life and are still full of positive energy. I hope you can soon enjoy those sunsets. You deserve it.As for me, I don't know what I would do right now if I were to become well today. My perceptions and outlook change dramatically when I am in remission such that my plans in life change as well. So, right now, I am uncertain as to what I will want to do as I approach remission. Either way, my goal is to return to employment. Too many years have passed for me to go back to school. I am looking for financial independence and stability. When I was younger, I wanted to become a MD/PhD in psychiatry and the neurosciences. I had a passion for medicine and healing people. Gone.
Still, I look forward to a bright future and enjoying sunsets. Right now, the sun is rising.
