"...but you are so strong!"
"...but you fight so hard!"
"...but you are such an inspiration!"
"...but you are beautiful!"
I know these are all well meant comments. I know they are sincere. I know they are meant to comfort me. I know they are meant to help. I know they are said because the other person does not know what else to say. I know I know I know...but:
I AM TIRED OF HEARING "BUT"
Sometimes, when I complain, when I feel weak, when I am scared, when I worry, when I am tired, when I feel ugly, when I am in pain, when I feel gross, when I feel sick-I just don't want to hear it! I hear it every day...the "but" makes it sound like it's ok that I am sick, and I am sorry there is nothing ok about it. Nobody asked me, because I would have said NO....I HATE BEING SICK!
