My night consisted of

  • Olive Garden dinner
  • English accents
  • Spilling my slushie on my best friend’s purse
  • Bowling 
  • Mustaches
  • Jenna Marbles
  • Honey badgers
  • WalMart
  • Nearly peeing my pants from laughter

It’s safe to say I had a really good night :) I love my friends.

I still haven’t taken any pictures of myself being bald. A part of me doesn’t want to remember anything from this part of my life, but another part of me knows I’ll regret it. Three months have passed by in a blur; I’m almost halfway to the finish line. Hopefully when I finally gather the courage to really accept what my life has become, there’ll be enough time for me to capture it.

The weather has been really nice lately. It makes me really miss the feeling of wind blowing through my hair. It’s nice being bald and all, but I’m ready for my hair to grow back.

I’m really grateful for my friends being so supportive of me, and keeping my life like it used to be. If only they would keep their word and visit me when I’m in the hospital. It’s nice to have visitors once in a while. It gets lonely with just my mom and I. 

Sydney, if you’re reading this. Thank you for visiting me as often as you have. I can always count on you. I love you, best friend <3

I’m ready for this sixth treatment. I just want to get it done and over with, so I’ll be chemo-free until after I have my surgery. I’m so excited to not have to go to the hospital for a whole month and then some! I’ll have my life back for a whole month. GAH, I’m so excited :)

The hospital makes a super big deal that I actually go to school. Apparently, most of their Ewing Sarcoma patients stop going to school because they’re sick all the time or don’t have the energy to go. It makes me happy that I’ve been really blessed that everything I’m going through is going better than expected. It also makes me feel really guilty. I don’t think it’s fair that I’m able to have my life back, while other kids with the same cancer are stuck in the hospital. So, whoever is responsible for making this chapter in my life a little easier, I thank you.

I’m slowly losing myself in this hurricane that has become my life. I can feel myself losing the drive I once had. It’s a constant game of catch-up now. Taking things one day at a time doesn’t seem like enough anymore. How much longer until I’m done? Because I can’t take anymore.

It’s really hard when the only person you can turn to doesn’t listen, doesn’t have the time to listen, or can’t even make an effort to remember anything when they’re actually listening. Like why do I even bother talking to you.

Exciting news of the week: I’m eligible for a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation! (:

I still have a hard looking at myself in the mirror, and believing that the person staring back at me is really me. It’s funny how something as trivial as hair affects my confidence. I constantly find myself going through pictures from a few months back, and just thinking how the hell I went from homecoming queen to cancer patient. Sigh, I just want my life back.

My little cousin usually comes to me for relationship advice. It’s funny because the only relationship I really know is the one I’m currently in now. I’ve been with the same boy for almost 3 and a half years, so I don’t know anything about boys, lol. The only thing I know about is my boy.

Even after almost three and a half years together, I’m still crazy about you <3

I wish my family would understand that I’m okay. It’s been over a month now, and they still insist to treat me like I’m a disabled child. I have cancer, I didn’t get hit by a car. I’m perfectly capable of doing things for myself. I know as family, it’s their job to care and worry, but where was all this care and worry months and years prior to my diagnosis? Just because I’m sick doesn’t mean I need special treatment. I still go to school daily; I go out with my friends; I stay up late. Nothing has changed between November and now; I’m still me. Why is that so difficult to understand?

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve been diagnosed. Three treatments are done, the fourth is coming up, and I’m just one more treatment closer to being finished with this. I’m feeling good, and my life is slowly finding its way back to normal. I’m content with how my life is right now.
