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

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
