Discovering the Alchemy of Life
Im a little bit country, and a litte bit rock n roll.
In 2019, my life changed. Despite what you may think, you are never really prepared when you hear the words, "stage 4 cancer." Nor are you prepared for the aftermath. It's a constant rush of emotions. Your life becomes filled with so much worry, fear, unease and guilt. Did you do enough to fight? Did you prepare your loved ones? Why didn't you tell that person that you loved them? How much time do you have left? Why didn't you visit that island like you dreamed?
So many questions...so little time...so many tears...
In essence, your life begins to feel like the Dream Deferred that Langston spoke about. But the syrupy sweet is more akin to Strange Fruit.
But, what if living with an illness, became the passport to a freer and a more fulfilled life? What if it forced you to look at life differently and discover your true purpose?
I've had to lose so much. But I've gained so much more of myself.
Trust me, babe. There is beauty in the breakdown.
