Dear Murtaza:

I didn’t know you had asthma, past tense (“but nowadays I don’t have it”)?

Okay, I will tell you things even if they make you feel guilty (but only if there is a meaningful reason or a purpose other than feeling guilty).

“walking makes you live longer, oh my god, more years to suffer, no thanks, I quit as soon as possible”- saying “no thanks” to people who repeat sayings that they hear without considering the bigger picture.

“I’m my own worse enemy, I just saw that my feelings (of begging if you remember) got back, the learned helplessness”- I didn’t understand the italicized part (something happened just then?)

” would pay anything just to be with her”- pay what?

“I got a very short anger and said ‘F***’, you mean you said it out loud to yourself.. not to the pharmacist/ in public, right?
