try to always understand that someone has it far worse. I try to find the silver linings in any of the challenges I face. I try to remind myself that negative experiences build strength and character, but aren’t I already a good enough person?! Didn’t being trans do that? Wasn’t Andy’s cancer enough? What other life lessons do I need?! Why is this happening to me?! Why is this happening to him?! Why is this happening to us?!” I was trying to rationalize the irrational.
