When I turned 22 in 2008, my mom surprised me with her having sarcoidosis, a disease which will turn functional cells into non-functional ones. Quite an issue when it starts in your lungs. A year later, my father surprised me with him having cancer.

Now, I‘m ready for everything I missed in my mid-twenties. Party like there is no tomorrow, make stupid mistakes and f*ck around (literally and metaphorically).
Yet that means I‘ll be unable to live a „normal“ life by our societie's standards, because I already should have wife and kids by the age of 35…
