As an iOS person through and through, I'll say this:

If I ever go for an Android, it’ll have to be a Pixel.

There’s a certain spark about it, the same kind of Apple-like magic you can’t quite put your finger on, but it instantly hits you once you’ve got it in hand.

One of the oddities I keep coming across when I tell people I’ve got cancer is the way they drill me with their eyes, as if expecting me to look… I don’t know… different. Shattered. The body barely holding together. Confused. Maybe with hair falling out.

But when, instead of those tell-tale signs, they see someone who, at least on the surface, looks more or less fine, I can almost hear the unspoken question: “Are you having me on?”

And honestly? I don’t even hold it against them. Before all this, I’d have been the exact same. It just doesn’t always click that not every illness shouts its presence. Until it happens to you.
