so it's my 2nd birthday for the 6th time today. what the hell do i mean? 6 year remission from an awful malignant cancer in my head. crap, huh? but you know what? i did it. i understand it's not always doable but this one was and i did it. up until recently it was easier to make jokes about it but with some help, i have been able to really look at it and feel how sad it was and how tough it was. looking at reality, when it was that black (not even grey skies, but yes, black) is not easy but with help, it's ok and worth it. i'm being proactive even about dealing with this. 
so today is a day of emotion. i cry because it's beautiful that i survived. i feel like i won today, you know? like i beyond-earned it. no, we shouldn't have to earn every day we live, in my opinion, but today, i really did.
CURRENTLY READING:
