"Now that I am well again, I know, of course, that confronting the full force of my own vulnerability was not an epic fail. In fact, it was the complete opposite. Only I could make the decision to step back from the brink of the abyss. Only I could start to love myself the way my friends and family loved me. I had to find out for myself that life is not a performance sport; that achievement is a state of grace, not the sum total of relentless activity; that ego might not be a dirty word, but it can be a ruthless taskmaster; and that hard work often brings just rewards, but it's not what sets you free."

I think people are feeling like it's been turned into a kind of circus sideshow that we're all being sold tickets to.
