I just feel like I want to be here to help people. Some people might not, but that's my personal belief. But I personally believe if, if you actually look into what it's actually saying, it says: love everyone, no matter what.
What would you do if you were facing a terminal illness at just 23? In this heart-touching episode of 'Making Sense of Chaos', hosts Maddie Brygel and Jason Weel sit down with Michael Arkalis, who is navigating life with brain cancer.

Michael opens up about his journey, sharing reflections on death, grief, and the importance of loving everyone, no matter what. His words are a poignant reminder that even in the face of adversity, hope and purpose can shine through.
