“When something bad is actually happening, it’s easy to underreact, because a part of you is wired to assume it isn’t real. When you stop underreacting, the horror is unique because it is, unfortunately, endless.” Why care when you’ve exhausted every option, done all the tests, put yourself through even more torment just to be told by the doctor that your tests came back “normal” or worse “perfect.”

“To stamp a limit on even the most tedious of things—the number of times you have left to buy a coffee, the number of times you will defrost the fridge—is to acknowledge reality in a way that amounts to torture. In truth, we will only perform any action a certain number of times, and to know that can never be helpful.” Trying to find joy in menial tasks is the only way to happiness in a modern world.
