No one ever quite comprehends. Maybe they don’t want to.
On the outside I look fine, normal even.
The times that my disease does manifest,
to the healthy ones it remains incomprehensible
that my life is so marked,

Wake up. Hardly slept.
I don’t look so well today.
Try to tell myself that I am fine
But I really don’t feel so great, either.
The circles under my eyes are growing.
Will myself to stop. Stop worrying. Stop letting it devour…"

Watching old home movies.
At Christmas I
opened my gifts and
each time I got a new outfit
I’d gasp and giggle
“Mom, Can I put on now?!”
And she let me do it,
three times in a row.
Cut to a recording of our house. It was…"

Thanks for your input here! I'm glad to know that DESTIN is pretty supportive and understanding. I've spoken with the disability and well-being office and they seem to be pretty accommodating! Can you tell me more about what you…"
Elizabeth Rae replied to Elizabeth Rae's discussion 'Trying to get to London - with complications!'"Thanks for your response and thoughts, Lila! May I ask, were you coming from America to do your masters there? I'm sad to hear that you think that LSE masters programs are just out to take your money. I've heard such great things from…"
Lila replied to Elizabeth Rae's discussion 'Trying to get to London - with complications!'"Well I think I can offer a few helpful tips, having done a Master's at the LSE myself.
I'm sorry about the funding problems. Unfortunately, many funding deadlines are very early in the year. Once the deadline is passed, there is not much…"
laurabisme replied to Elizabeth Rae's discussion 'Trying to get to London - with complications!'"Hi Eliza,
Hope you've worked out about coming to London. Just to reassure you I think you'll be fine. I'm from UK but did the same masters programme at LSE a couple of years ago (really enjoyed it). There is a doctor's surgery…"

Can't we all have an ending like this...
Jamie Randall: I'm full of shit, okay? No I'm... I'm *knowingly* full of shit. Because I have never cared about anybody or anything in my entire life. And the thing is, everybody just kind of accepted that. Like, "That's just Jamie." And then you!... Jesus. You. You. You didn't see me that way. I have never known anyone who actually believed that I was enough. Until I met you. And then you made me believe it, too. So, uh... unfortunately... I need you. And you need me.
Maggie Murdock: No I don't.
Jamie Randall: Yes you do.
Maggie Murdock: No I don't.
Jamie Randall: Yes, you do.
Maggie Murdock: Stop it, stop saying that.
Jamie Randall: You need someone to take care of you.
Maggie Murdock: No, I don't!
Jamie Randall: Everybody does.
Maggie Murdock: I'm gonna need you more than you need me.
Jamie Randall: That's okay.
Maggie Murdock: [crying] No it's not! It isn't fair! I have places to go!
Jamie Randall: You'll go there. I just may have to carry you.
Maggie Murdock: ...I can't ask you to do that.
Jamie Randall: You didn't...Let's just say in some alternate universe, there's a couple just like us, okay? Only she's healthy and he's perfect. And their world is about how much they're going to spend on vacation or who's in a bad mood that day, or whether they feel guilty about having a cleaning lady. I don't want to be those people. I want us. You. This.
Maggie Murdock: No I don't.
Jamie Randall: Yes you do.
