Cancer.

Cancer is a tyrant.

Cancer sits high on a throne, watching as we cry and scream with grief.

Cancer is a dictator.

Cancer sneaks quietly through our lives, waiting for it’s moment, waiting for the time it can take another for it’s collection.

Cancer is relentless.

Cancer is a shadow hanging over the victim, the family and the friends, squeezing them tight and exhausting all joy.

Cancer is an obscenity.

Cancer is a dirty word in everyone’s mouth causing heartache and fear when it passes our lips.

Cancer is all around us.

Cancer does not just stop with one, one hundred or one million; It wants us all.

Cancer is a thief.

Cancer enters our homes while we sleep and takes our loved ones from their beds.

Sometimes slowly, sometimes all of a sudden; Always too soon. 


In response to recent updates in my personal life, I felt compelled to write this. I don’t want to go into great detail at the moment, my heart just isn’t in it, but I will write about it and I will use this platform as it is meant to be used. Just not right now.

All I will say is that life is a bitch and sometimes it’s not possible to be positive. ‘Positive vibes‘ and ‘positive thinking‘ just aren’t enough, and sometimes all you can do is sleep because it’s easier than being awake.

Right now all I want to do is pull my family, my whole family, around me and hug them tight to stop them leaving. But you can’t stop what you can’t see, and you can’t keep borrowing time when there’s none left.

Sometimes all you can do is breathe.
