I Hate to Brag, but…

April 27, 2022

I hate to brag but I feel like I deserve an opportunity to toot my own horn. I’m 42, five years into an unfriendly diagnosis and living what feels like my best life. Sure all my time isn’t spent being productive or changing the world, but most of it is being spent for me.I’ve used cancer to my benefit and the cancer card has allowed me to work more casually with things or people that matter. Gone are my days of working for the man so the man can get rich.Now I have weeks of low stress, low responsibility, high reward. I have time to spend with family and my friends. I’ve found the people who are holding me up instead of tearing me down.I have embraced this version of me, limitations and abilities combined and am truly living with cancer. I’m sure the time will come where my focus will shift to survival, but for now I choose to focus on fun, on laughter, on experiencing, on people, on relationships, on life.
