She slept better last night. The sores in her mouth didn't hurt as much, but her nail beds felt worse.

Three weeks between infusions let's her hair grow back just a little between each. She looks cute with a little fuzz on top.

She still smiles. It fills me with joy every time. Laughing hurts but those smiles....

I watch her through the night. I don't recognize her anymore. Her breaths come differently, but the sound still helps me fall asleep.

    Love is a journey, there is no "real" love, that's just the love you prefer right now.

    In my case both, but I am an atheist who believes that this world and this life is all that we have and can prove exists.

    I am agnostic enough to admit that could be wrong, and underlying this is that existing forever, even in paradise, sounds terrifying to me.

    If there is no proof then it's no different than a fantasy. The entire concept of a soul is a desire for personhood to be immortal.

    As of yet no-one has even been able to tell me what a soul is supposed to be. So I guess both.

    I’m definitely getting nit-picky, but I’m seeing a lot of definitions for what a soul is (from an Ecosia search), and one definition I like is β€œan individual person.” I generally think of a soul as someone’s consciousness, which to me means that all life has souls.
