Support Group featured a rotating cast of characters in various states of tumor-driven unwellness. Why did the cast rotate? A side effect of dying.

I was born into Bolívar's labyrinth, and so I must believe in the hope of Rabelais' Great Perhaps.

And yet still I worried. I like being a person. I wanted to keep at it. Worry is yet another side effect of dying.

Like, in general I think people have very complicated reasons for wanting things, and we often have no idea whether we’re actually motivated by altruism or a desire to hook up or a search for answers or what. I always get annoyed when in books or movies characters want clear things for clear reasons, because my experience of humanness is that I always want messy things for messy reasons.

I try to live life so that I can live with myself.

But what could I lose by continuing that had not already been lost?

It's nice to have people who will feel guilty for you.
