Cancer
Dementia
Becoming paraplegic
My husband dying in a terrible accident
Me dying in a terrible accident
My parents dying in a terrible accident
Climate change
Heroin withdrawal
Sex trafficking
Dying in a plane crash like that sweet boy I went to high school with
Dying of the flu like my friend R did two years ago for no fucking reason
AIDS, even with all the new drugs they have now
Having a fascist government seize your home and belongings and put you in camps
Schizophrenia
Lou Gehrig's disease
Any wasting disease, really
Ebola
Chronic hunger
Being kidnapped and forced to play flute for the Khmer Rouge while the other children around you are executed one by one, and then escaping to the jungle and watching what the monkeys eat in order to learn how to survive
Being hideously disfigured such that you cannot recognize yourself
Having to be on dialysis forever
Having a brain tumor that changes your personality forever
Losing the ability to read or speak
I mean, really, this is a long fucking list when you get right down to it. Maybe I should add to it every day until I realize once again that my life is awesome.
