Chronics = superheroes?
Whether you are a chronic or a superhero, you need to be:
- resourceful: saving the world or holding down a job as a chronic you really have to be inventive - humour: able to recognize the absurdity of any given occurrence in your life, preferably in a witty way otherwise you may lose what’s left of your mind - protective of the weak: everybody else except your peers are “civilians” and need to be protected. From Aliens or bad news of the constant onslaught of your symptoms - adaptable: whatever the aliens / the baddies / doctors throw at you just roll with the punches - strong: goes without saying. If you are “enhanced” or just heavily medicated makes no difference - brave: it takes guts to face evil or just the day that lies ahead of you on a regular basis - high pain tolerance: again, goes without saying - commitment: a chronic can not really un-commit since the baddies reside in his body but a certain ‘til the end of the line attitude doesn’t hurt
