The C

There are a lot of accomplishments I have made in my life and battling cancer for the past six years sure as hell is one of them. I used to think that life was about check points. Meeting them and then going on to the next. Little did I know that there's obviously much more to life; like people. Not just your relationships, but the people you can find yourself standing next to on a train, your coworker that you barely talk to, or just another person in your psychology class of over 300. We are all here on this earth experiencing vast amounts of trials and tribulations. We are all being tested and in this world today we need to remember that we are all human; we all feel something. You can't be selfish and assume the worst of another. You can't pretend to be the hero, you just have to care. For someone more than yourself, because having cancer reminds you of all the people and their lives with whom you do actually speak to, you'll never get the chance to see them grow. You will miss out on saying excuse me to that cute boy in your class that you bump into. Don't wait to be diagnosed or have something go wrong to enjoy and really appreciate the wonderful virtues that you have today. Just be.
