the last time I had time off was when I was in the hospital with covid/kidney damage. my roommate was the coolest army vet named Dallas. he had it much worse than me (covid/pneumonia/broken shoulder) but he was still charismatic and polite. all the nurses loved him. he gave me a great perspective and after that health scare, I've stopped some of my bad habits and picked up good ones. just when I thought my life was falling apart, I realized it was an opportunity to build myself up stronger.
