During the past week, I've been an emotional wreck. I felt sorry for myself, looking for every excuse to have some sort of company. I wasn't able to concentrate on work. I've felt blah because of the chemo. I felt stuck inside a house not able to do anything. I felt like I was losing a little bit of control of my life.
My sister gave me a good kick in the pants today and made me go for a really long walk today. And something just snapped in me today. I cannot give up anything just yet. As someone who I really admire would probably say to me right now, "Sometimes life will throw you some lemons, so make some lemonade."
With anything in life, challenges need to be met head on and fought through. And you have to keep on fighting, no matter what. It can be extremely hard and pretty painful to deal with. Something really serious and extreme could happen to start making you feel like this is the end. But, it's only the end if you just give up. But that's not me. No matter what, I will do whatever it takes to meet those challenges head on.
My uncle told me that lymphoma was just a detour in life. But with any detour, you eventually get back on path. Every other challenge is the same way. It's just a detour. You might do something stupid and walk the same path over and over again, but eventually, you'll find the right path.
I spent a little bit of time on the net looking at various articles and reading various websites. I'm not alone. With anything, there are tons of other people who have gone through the same things. Some through a hell of a lot worse. I've even known some of them. But all of those people were fighters and have come back with amazing results. So, I don't believe that anything I'm facing now can't be solved and fixed, no matter how much I think it hurts.
I came across this website from Jenny Goellnitz, which gave me even more inspiration. It's strange that something like cancer is the thing that wants me to find my passion again. Before I knew I had cancer, I was feeling content with the status quo, just sitting on my arse and not doing anything about it.
But not now. I feel pretty damn inspired to go out there and show the world that I ain't just giving up yet.
