Self

Self. Self-centered. Self-absorbed. Self-righteous. A few examples of self. Self stinks. I can't believe I've been so self-centered these days, thinking about my problems and worrying about myself. I hardly write my friends anymore, or even just say "Hello" or "How was your day?". We went to visit and sing at a cancer hospice, and I snapped outta my "self" trip. The patients there know they're going to die, but they don't know when. They're not even sure if they'll live through Christmas. It's very rough for the relatives too. I should know. My cousin died at four of bone cancer. It was so sudden. He was there, laughing and playing, and the next day he was gone. In every room we visited and sang the patients, relatives, and nurses all cried. They seemed very thankful that someone cared to visit them.
