Ahoy Jared, good luck bra!!! You have a great outlook on life and believe it or not have inspired me to make a few changes in mine. Really shocked to hear about your current health issues but the recent good news is great.
Try to ignore peoples judgements of you, its all ego based bs anyway. Human thoughts should not have an impact on your wellbeing regardless of the situation. Life is immense, embrace it and learn from it.
I just read this thread first to last page, amazing story! I hope all is well for you, Jared and all the best. Forget about the hate and negativity in this thread as well and just be the best you can.
First 16 pages of this thread are incredible. Gratz on your journey OP. Very moving.
It's a shame that 50% of the posts on the last few pages are made up of attention whoring haters. Hold your head high OP, you deserve it. Best of luck in the future.
