Life goes on..

I think when you face difficult moments in your life it's easy to say you're okay but deep down inside your hurting and hoping things will get easier. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 I never knew how difficult life was until I had to make serious decisions about my health at the age of 25. At a time when I just wanted to be around friends and party the night away but I realized what really mattered when I was lying in my bed all cut up due to surgery (bilateral mastectomy) in terrible pain and telling myself is this it? Will I ever be that happy and silly person again that loved to dance and sing. And the answer is yes! I might have loss a certain part of my body (breasts) but I gained so much through this experience. I learned to appreciate the simple things and life itself because there no better feeling than waking up everyday thankful for the little you have. I think it's important to always stand strong with your head up and never lose your faith in life.
