| 98. No one is judging you. |

I certainly did not levy a judgement upon you in my post. I am simply saying that everyone seems to think that denial is a bad thing. And maybe, for you, it has caused damage. But it is a natural reaction to bad news; to situations over which we feel that we have no control. It is the opposite of acceptance, and sometimes you just DON'T need to accept some things. There are some things that are just WORTH fighting for, no matter how bad the situation is. And a life is one of those things.
