It's everywhere. Everyone I know, everyone I don't know. It's around every corner and in the back of every bar. It's at the salon, it's at the gym, it's on television. There is no escaping it. Every single ache and pain is cancer.
Since my husband was diagnosed in January, I play this constant - never ending game - of convincing myself everything is not cancer. It's exhausting. I'm tired. But I won't stop fighting because life is too precious to let a fear consume me.

Selfishness
Selfishness is really a disease. Some people make it a way of life. It never even occurs to them to consider how their actions may affect another human being in their life. It's always about serving themselves, what they want - when they want it. Right here and right now.
We all have to be selfish sometimes but when you constantly and consistently let down those people you supposedly care about, it just makes you look like an inconsiderate asshole. Truth be told, most people who are selfish don't have much to show in their life. They're usually lonely, sometimes surrounded by expensive things - sometimes surrounded by empty beer bottles and dirty sheets. It just depends on how much of a fuck-up they've let themselves become.
If you are the kind of person who always puts their own wants, needs and desires ahead of everyone around you - you might want to stop and reflect. Do you like your life? Do good things happen to you? Do you keep making the same mistakes over and over, expecting a different outcome? Because sometimes life isn't about doing what you want. Sometimes, it's about doing what you need to do and it isn't always fun. There will come a time when you just have to suck it up, focus and apply yourself because that's how the world works. If something has to be done, it's not going to always be for YOUR benefit and that's okay - because last time I checked, the sun doesn't revolve around you.
