I've only told a couple folks. But since enough people are wondering my sudden decision to leave, I'm very ill. I've been fighting cancer for a year now. And I've made the decision to stop treatment because I don't have any family or anyone in my life. I'm tired and can't keep doing this alone. That's a very simplified version of it.

I don't want to post in this thread anymore because it will be too painful to be around some folks. So you might see me post here and there in other threads. But my time on GAF will start to wind down.

EDIT: for the record, I would appreciate if you guys didn't try to do anything. I get it, I know I have people on here that like me, and I have friends online. I get it's a hard situation. It's a more complex issue then what I've presented. I want my privacy. I probably shouldn't have even posted what I did, but I figured since enough people were curious, I would let this community (which I spent more of my time on) know. I felt I owed them at least an explanation for why I've been in and out of here the past 6 months. So please, I don't want anything from anyone. Nothing will impact my situation. It's issues far greater than just having support from anyone online. It's just where my life is. I don't mean for this to come off in a mean way, that's not my intention. Hope you understand.

I know you said not to act but I can't sit by and let someone suffer alone. I'm mostly a lurker but you're a very recognizable person and I'm sure there's someone from GAF who lives near you that would love to at least hang out with you and give you some time to enjoy company.

I don't get the new title. I know its a Game of Thrones book but I still don't get it and probably wont due to fear of spoilers.

The fourth novel is called "A Feast for Crows", but in post-Toph KorraGAF some people have to eat crows instead of the other way around.

Do any mods hang around here or did someone request a title change?

Don't look at me. If it were up to me it would be The (because there's a THE in the title)

Staaaap. See, I know all these references but I don't watch the show. Surely there are others who suffer as I?
 
Looks like they're yoda-ing toph

Also@azula. Damn fam you were a huge part of these avatar threads. I'm sorry to hear that but I hope you sought out some psychiatric help before coming to that decision

Either way it's yours to make in the end tho, bless up bro
 
And who are you, the proud lady said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a tyrant of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a robe of green or a metalcoat,
a bender still has might,
And I am strong and smart, my lord,
as strong and smart as you.
And so he spoke, and so she spoke,
that lady of Zaofu,
But now the rains weep o'er her hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er her hall,
and not a soul to hear.
 
aSoIaF novel readers are fucking irritating. I'm one of them, but I fucking hate those that go to places that non-book readers are and do secret jokes about events in the novel all wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

I think that GAF has been getting better about it though. Like, if a book reader were to go into the show only thread and say "You guys are going to shit yourselves!!!!", it would be an automatic ban.

you posted changed lyrics based off a song in the show, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm talking more about shit like say you know X character will die by getting his eyes stabbed and somebody goes to a thread/facebook discussion and says "you guys like X character? Well just wait until you see what happens next, you won't see it coming!" and then somebody is all "I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE HURR HURR"

Now the people who are watching the show know to read the words and what it implies.

[Azula finishes her orgasm and notices a young boy at the window]

Azula: Stop! STOP!

Zuko: Are you completely mad?

Azula: He saw us!

Zuko: It's alright, it's alright.

Azula: HE SAW US!

Zuko: I heard you the first time. [pans to the ground several meters below] You're quite the little climber, how old are you boy?

Teo: Ten.

Zukko: Ten. . . The things I do for love [pushes him off the window]

It always sucked. This thread been highjacked by tumblr GoT peeps. Suddenly dying is more appealing.

This is really nice. And I appreciate it. I appreciate all the nice words. I especially appreciate people not condemning me for my initial decision (even if that decision meant dying). After thinking this over the past 24 hours though, I've decided to take on the treatment again even if it's not guaranteed to kick the cancer. This is a very big gamble, and very scary. Because I could be setting myself up for 6 months of immense suffering, only to end up dying (vs having a year of peace/relaxation with pain meds).

And it's true, I have no one. I have nothing in my life right now. But the one thing that I think kept me going, is just how much I enjoyed being alive. Life is sometimes boring. It's sometimes sad. It's sometimes awful. But no what what, I always found joy in the little things. Whether that's getting to play a new video game. Whether that's watching a new Korra episode. These all seem like trivial things, but it's these things that make me happy.

I think, it's worth trying to stay alive, so I can keep experiencing those tiny moments. So I appreciate all the support. It's going to be a tough path going forward. My initial decision was out of desperation, as I had been broken. I couldn't handle the news, and I couldn't handle the thought of doing more treatments on my own. I still hate the idea of doing it. I'm scared, and tired. And I don't want to. But I figure it's worth a shot.
