Early Detection is Important…
I have several friends recently, who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. Sadly to say, one of them only recently died this Friday. She opted out to have chemotherapy and radiation, since her cancer had spread from her lungs, intertwining around her spine. The doctors gave her six months to live…after diagnosed. I think she made it to five months.
Cancer is a monster that overtakes your body and consumes your soul.
Early awareness and early detection is so important. Trust your body to tell you when something is wrong. Research your symptoms. Reach out to others for insight. Don’t always trust what your doctors tell you…dismissing it as nothing. Find out the facts and get a second opinion…or a third.
Knowledge is power! Let’s put a stop to this monster once and for all, before it continues to take more lives.

Keeping your Roots…
Life can derail us off our track of focus. When this happens, we must get back to our roots.
Roots can mean different things for different people. Losing one’s roots may stifle our creativity. It may suffocate our mind and spirit; drawing us into its madness.

Lost…
Yesterday he left again. Sadly to say, I allow him to come and go at his leisure. This isn’t my intention; however, it is the result of my lack of courage to go on without him.
I figured it takes me about four weeks to fully recover from his presence, or more like his absence. Subsequently, this does not last long, for he always comes back to disrupt my sense of normalcy.
Once again, I am left to clean up the fragments of my dysfunctional life.

A Walk up Barrow Hill…
“Why did you say that?” She asked.
“Does it matter?” He said.
“It matters to me.”
“It shouldn’t matter. At least not to you.”
“But it does. It all matters to me. It’s not fair.” She said.
“Nothing is fair.” He said looking down at his hands.
“I know and that’s why I must leave…I’m leaving you…I don’t love you anymore.” She said, closing the door silently behind her.
She couldn’t look back, as she walked towards the sunset with a smile upon her lips.
She was finally free.
