When you were down on your luck, I lent you money to make a car
payment on your stupidly overpriced BMW that you couldn’t afford.
Shortly thereafter, our relationship fell apart and I asked you to pay
me back. You refused. Then you made false claims that you already
had paid me back. When my cat was diagnosed with lymphoma and I
needed $2,500 in emergency vet care, you still didn’t pay me back. She
died in my arms, and you still wouldn’t pay me back. Now I am diagnosed
with recurrent cancer and am facing an invasive, exploratory surgery
and medical leave from work, and you STILL WON’T PAY ME BACK. All
because you are fucking heartbroken that I didn’t want to spend the
rest of my (potentially shortened) life with you. Now that I know what
little heart you actually have, I know how you would have handled the
“for better and for worse.” You’re despicable—and if cancer were
contagious, I would gladly share some with
you.—Anonymous

I Wish Cancer Were Contagious

DO WANT to hear the other side of the story on this one….
Yeah, don’t lend money to your friends. Sorry about the cancer, though.
Wow, that totally crushes my mellow.
Look, you’re perfectly within your rights to feel whatever you want to feel. You’re allowed. However, I sincerely hope that you find a way to put the negativity aside as it won’t help you heal, and I’m horrified to think of these thoughts consuming the last of your months/years/decades on this planet.
WEAK – this ‘I anonymous’ was in the Seattle Stranger on 10/06/09:

If I’d have known all it took to get into “I Anonymous” was to simply pen some crap, I would have been published by now.
Thanks Jody for the heads-up, pretty lame to use the same story twice…….
A+ for the content; F for the repeat.
for the other side of the story, ask this guy:

Reading this spurred me to look at cancer statistics. Chances are…
Yeah, i sometimes question whether these “I Anonymous” submissions are actually ligitimate.
For those of you being all grouchy about the duplicate – The Stranger and The Mercury are sister papers and very often share the same articles and posts.
I’m sad for you and angry on your behalf with the selfish bmw owner. Good luck with the treatment. Recent, well designed studies have proven that it’s totally untrue that what you think/feel and attending “support groups” influences the course of cancer [see Barbara Ehrenreich’s Bright Sided for the documentation]. So, think & feel what you want, and let the medical staff do all the work. Not only will this not hurt your chances, but it might even be a relief to not police your every thought in fear of doing yourself damage.
