Coming Back to Life

It is an amazing feeling knowing you beat something that was trying to rob you of your life. i never thought in a million years I would be writing about this. I never thought I would have to fight for my life against cancer in my mid-twenties. But I guess life is a fight everyday. Tomorrow is never a guarantee.

Cancer has definitely changed me. I am more easy-going, I let things go and move on to enjoy life. I don’t really get angry anymore. Life’s too short to waste it on something so negative.

I now made a drastic decision and moved back with my fiance to where my family is to work for the family business. We found a nice place that has a breath-taking view of the beach. After being coped up in a hospital bed for months every week, it is amazing to see every morning. It is something you cannot put a price on, unless you count rent.

I got swimming (far enough out with the sharks) which might not be the best plan. Would not recommend, but I love swimming. I love the water. I have missed so many things.

I finally went on the beach for a run and yes, I may not have gone that far, but I know that starting fresh, means starting from the bottom. I know I will reach the top and it will be a huge accomplishment for me. I cannot wait until I am able to cross the finish line after running marathons. I may not finish first, but simply finishing is my own medal for me.

 

-Happy Friday to Everyone. Have a safe and fun weekend.
