So.. I'm currently thousands of miles apart from my family becuz of college, and I just learned that my mother has leukemia.
Is it weird to not know how to react? I'm just confused that I'm not devastated, but maybe I am?
I wish you all the best in this hard time, and admire your honesty.
About the philosophical issue you're referencing, I don't know if it will make you feel better, but Camus'The stranger or his play Caligula may interest you.
Thanks guys, idk why but I felt more comfortable telling strangers on the internet (though to be fair, I've "known" many of you since 2011) than I am with people I know irl. I think it has to do with it feeling more detached from reality..
I really appreciate it.
My 13 year-old lil sis tried to comfort me by saying that she'd be able to take care of my mom (my older sister is also in another state cuz of work). If she can be that strong, so can I.
