Weightless.

Live.

He eats without being forced. The tube is almost a distant memory. He gets to be in control again, if only for a little while. He has choices at meal times. Pears or pineapples? Milk or water? Toast with jam or a biscuit? Fish or turkey? Either way he's eating. And sometimes...sometimes its not so bad.

"You'll be out of here in no time Daniel. You're right on track." A nurse promises him after he steps off of the scale. He still misses Javi's second birthday. His mother lets him know the party went well but it would have been better with him there. It was Space-man themed. His nephew has always been fascinated with Buzz Lightyear.

He tells him therapist he doesn't want to miss anymore of his own life. Doesn't want to hide behind Ana and Mia anymore. He has choices now. He chooses happiness. He chooses to ge healthy. He chooses to overcome his disorder and to fight.

I choose to live.
