Congratulations You are a beautiful brave young woman You did it. Live life to its fullest
“Today marks 3 years post chemotherapy for me. It’s so crazy that I’m only in remission and still not considered “cured”, but I’m making milestones :). Today marks my new “birthday”, the birthday I celebrate. I find it so hard to remember who I was prior to my diagnosis. A lot of me is still the same, but the rest of me has really evolved,
I now spending my days evaluating what really matters in life, why I do the things I do, why I say the things I say, how I can make a difference and this continues to shape me into the new me I was meant to be. 3 years ago I struggled with depression, I still do, but God had a plan to wake me up and give me a second chance at all of the beautiful and wonderful things He’s had to offer all this time.
Not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for my experience. Through my diagnosis I’ve discovered peace within myself as well as my faith.
In 2 years I will be ‘cured’ and that will be something to celebrate in itself, but for now I live for only today, forgive myself for the past and leave the future in God’s hands. Today is a great day to celebrate life. Help me celebrate today by doing something for yourself or someone else in need. Something that brings you peace or makes you feel alive. Something that lightens the load for someone struggling. Help me celebrate by finding joy in your heart and focusing on the things that truly matter. Take a nice bath, take a nap, make amends with someone, send someone flowers who’s having a rough time, compliment someone, hug your parents and your children a little tighter.
