less than worthless

When a child has a terminal illness, it is absolutely essential to maintain a sense of normalcy. Not only does that mean educating them, but investing in their future. As an attempt to prevent them from entirely giving in, parents should instill the importance of achievement. For love of a child means reinforcing the worth of their life.

It was today, when she realized how absolutely worthless her life is. Once again, pivoting around the issue of money, and schooling, was a collision with the inescapable state of illness. In her own eyes, the value of her life constantly flickers, from moment to moment. Sometimes full of aspiration, at others amounting to nothing - likely to achieve nothing. Her self-doubt so great, another micro, nano, pico, femto, would be enough to end it.

Thanks dad, it great to know how entirely fucking hopeless, worthless, and meaningless my life is to you. All I hope, is that by the time I die, I will have enough written for you to understand me.
