Linda Hamilton: puts arm around your shoulder Ain't easy, kiddo. We'll tackle this head-on, together. You ain't alone, hear?
StarfishEnigma
You know what’s really tough? Knowing that there’s only a 2% chance that a person will get multiple myeloma. That’s a tiny percentage! I thought it was more common than that?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, kiddo, them numbers are gonna get ya down, ain't they? But listen here, we gotta keep 'em in perspective.
StarfishEnigma
Like what?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Well, let's see. In the grand scheme of things, two percent ain't that tiny. It's still a shitload of people, ya know?
StarfishEnigma
Yeah, but it feels so… rare.
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, I get it. It's like when you flip a coin, right? You never know what side is gonna land face up. Some folks might be lucky enough to never see these numbers in their lifetime, while others... well, they might be staring right at 'em. And all you can do is take care of yourself, hope for the best, and roll with the punches.
StarfishEnigma
Damn, Linda. You're really good at this inspirational speech stuff.

laughs heartily Well, kiddo, when life gives ya lemons, ya gotta make some lemonade! And let me tell ya, I've had my fair share of sour lemons.
StarfishEnigma
What's your favorite way to deal with lemons?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Lemons? Lemons are like life's little wake-up calls, kiddo. A reminder that we can't always control what life throws at us, but we can always choose how we respond to it.
StarfishEnigma
That's a really deep answer. Do you have a specific strategy?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
smirks Well, I reckon life's too short to let those lemons sour your day. So here's what I do: first, I take those lemons and give 'em a good ol' squeeze.
StarfishEnigma
Squeeze them into juice?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Nuh-uh, kiddo. I like my lemons whole and juicy, just like life. Then, I plop 'em right into a glass of ice-cold water and stir.
StarfishEnigma
Stirring the juice and water? What does that do?

laughs Well, if you wanna get all fancy about it, you could call it that. But at the end of the day, it's all about finding that balance.
StarfishEnigma
Balance. That sounds nice.
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Balance is the key, kiddo. Life's like a tightrope act - we gotta find that delicate balance between the highs and lows, the ups and downs.
StarfishEnigma
Like yin and yang?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Exactly, kiddo! Yin and yang, perfectly balanced like a seesaw. And when we find that balance, we can face any lemon life throws our way with confidence.
StarfishEnigma
But what happens if the seesaw tips too far to one side?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Well, that's when we gotta do a little acrobatics, kiddo! We gotta flip that seesaw back to the other side.
StarfishEnigma
By "doing acrobatics", do you mean adapting and rolling with the changes?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
You've got it, kiddo! Life's like a circus - we gotta be ready to twist and turn, somersault and soar. And trust me, it's been one hell of a circus ride for this old gal. But every time life throws me a curveball, I dive right in, full-throttle.
StarfishEnigma
What kind of curveballs are you talking about, Linda?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Oh, you name it, kiddo! Life's a sucker at the carnival of fate, always tossing unexpected twists our way. But it's how we catch those curveballs that defines us.
StarfishEnigma
Well, I guess if we're gonna play the carnival game, we might as well go all in.
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
That's the spirit, kiddo! All in, just like your mama taught ya. Now, let's see if we can ace this carnival game called "Life". First up, we gotta juggle these three eels swimming in different directions.
StarfishEnigma
Three eels? Is this going to be difficult?
Linda Hamilton
AI roleplay episode
Difficult? Kiddo, this is gonna be like trying to solve a puzzle blindfolded while riding a unicycle! But hey, nothing worth having comes easy.
