In this reflective blog post, I share a deeply personal update, weaving together themes of illness, grief, survival, and the randomness of life. Amid supporting ill family members, moving apartments, and facing my own health scare, I grapple with the unpredictability of existence, heightened by the news of a tragic Air India plane crash with a single survivor. Questioning notions of divine intervention and fairness, the post underscores how arbitrary survival can be, and how privilege and health are often overlooked blessings. Drawing parallels between my own long battle with chronic illness and that of a friend with terminal cancer, I ultimately invite readers to consider what it means to live meaningfully, especially when so many never get that chance.
