Gene testing and specialist...you must have good insurance. We had that gene testing done after my sister had breast cancer the second time. It wasn't exactly inexpensive with insurance.

Insurance is covering them both.I do not regret my decision at all

I feel like the worse the world gets, the more I notice this message all over the place - "lower your expectations", "accept", etc., things like that. All this kind of pseudo-Buddhist crap.

It's always bothered me on a subconscious level, always seemed suspicious. I've always instinctively, in a knee-jerk way, felt like, "fresia that honeysuckle".

I think the reason that message is becoming a "thing", is because the people on top are trying to condition us to accepting a worse world as "the new normal" - to just accept that this is the way things are, and NOT to take them to task for actively, consciously choosing to make the world worse on purpose, for their benefit/their pathological, out-of-control greed and sociopathy. It's a redirection tactic, to take your attention away from them, to forget about how things were. And they're trying to program you too, to get you to think, "oh, it's ME that has the problem, I expected too much! I need to just get used to life being honeysuckle" instead of looking and seeing that they are actively making it shittier than it was, well within living memory.

If you just "accept" and "lower your expectations", you forget that things used to be better than this, and you don't demand anything better. You don't stop and think "there's something wrong here..."

I wouldn’t consider my life to be honeysuckle and I’ve never really had expectations. Maybe it’s because I’m too simple. I just think it’s not bad to not spend every moment of every day wanting something. It’s ok to just take what you have accept it and find some happiness in what you do have as opposed to what you expect to have. If that makes sense.

I think it's hard not to spend your days wanting something, and hard to be happy with what you have, when you're not even at "just OK"/"normal" - and not only that, but when things have gotten even worse, from not being that great in the first place. I absolutely want to do better than I'm doing right now - I wasn't happy before, and there's no way I'm happy now that things are worse.

As long as that's the case, it feels indistinguishable from just giving up on life, falling into apathy.

I just think that message is being pushed on purpose, to get people used to things getting worse.

What would make you “OK”?
 
It's a long story...probably too long for the "What Are You Thinking" thread.

Sorry...I don't mean to be short, just tired/feeling iffy.
@TheSkaFish

Don't tease us, please us! Write it all down and send it some other time or start a new thread, maybe.
A sorrow shared is halved, a joy shared is doubled, or so I've heard. I've heard lots of things, really.

I didn’t take it as you being short at all. I’ve read some of your other posts. I just thought you had something specific that was nagging at you.
