Everybody gets to keep some secrets. Dying isn't off the table for that.

They're all hurting because they think they could have done something, made you feel more comfortable, something. But sometimes, it makes things easier when people don't know. Makes life feel normal, the life you enjoyed before you got sick. Don't regret it, kid. Don't hold it against em--but never regret it. It's your last days, weeks, months to decide how you want them to go.

I don't think they realize how much it hurts to be looked at like a ticking clock.
