Antwan, have you been all right? You said a week ago or so that you were feeling as if you were on the brink of dying or something, being between life and death. Then you remained totally silent for a few days until yesterday. I was a bit concerned about you.

I don't mean to condescend or patronize you, but I suggest you eat well and take some exercise every day, say, walk at least half an hour each day. Or have you been doing all that already?

Thank you, sir. Yes, I was traversing w/ the dead a few weeks ago. Then, I became gravely ill. Then, I fell thru the cracks of space-time and into the abyss. There's not much one can tweet from the abyss except that it is vast & empty & meaningless.
I never exercise nor eat right. I don't sleep well, either. I look forward to shedding this mortal coil.

(1) So you were very ill, huh? Just as I thought! I'm sorry for you. I can't help repeating "Eat well and take a walk." People often say they don't want to live long, so they don't want to eat well or take a walk. Yes, I respect their attitude.

(2) But the fact is that it's not easy to die early. Most people have to live very, very long in an unhealthy state. That prospect worries me. That's why I say, "Eat well and take a walk even if your real wish is to die soon." And that's what I've always been doing.
