A Letter To Cancer

I am not going to let you win!

A Letter To Cancer
Huffington Post

Dear Cancer,

Let me just start with my main point: I HATE YOU!
Life was so peaceful, then you had to come along to our family and make it worse.
You are nothing but a bully, who does nothing but make people's lives hell. Why do you do that? People don't do anything to you, so why do you make people's lives a living hell? What do you get from that?


My mom is one of the sweetest and strongest people I know. She is trying really hard to beat you. But what do you do? You keep spreading and make it even more difficult. You made chemotherapy unsuccessful for her, and other options too. Why do you have to be so hard? I will never forgive you for this.

A lot of people go through so much difficulty fighting you. Do you think chemotherapy is easy? Well, you're wrong! Chemotherapy gives you more pain and shatters a person emotionally and physically. You don't understand all the struggle they go through, just because you have to be so hard. So think about this, before being more troublesome.

You have not just caused pain to my mom, but you have caused pain to my entire family, including me. I stay far away. I am working and trying very hard to follow my dreams, but at the same time, it's hard for me and I get disturbed quickly, because of the fact that you're causing pain to my mom. Yes, I sing, do my assignments and study. I also watch a lot of movies, and socialise. These things do give me relief, but they won't make a person alright forever. These things are like having coffee in the morning, which gives you energy for some time, but then, they go away. When people ask me every day, "How are you doing?" I always say "I am doing good" so that people don't worry for me, or so that I don't make other people upset with my sad life. But to tell you the truth, I don't like saying "I am fine" every time, when in reality, I am not fine, and I won't be fine, at least for some time. This is all because of you.

But you know what? I am not going to let you win. We will all keep on fighting you! We will not leave you alone and let you cause more pain! We are all in this together and you will surely pay for what you're doing! We will find more solutions to get rid of you.

I am saying this, not just on behalf of my mother, but also on behalf of all those people who lost their lives fighting you, those who are still struggling, and those who went through all the pain, and won the battle. You are the worst thing in the world. No one deserves this. I hope you get destroyed so that you don't ever think about hurting someone again. And we will beat you!

Sincerely,
Your Worst Enemy

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
