I never thought I'd appreciate home so much... The last time I was home I was packing up for res and had long hair and life was normal.
The saddest, most dramatic thing that happened thus far was a stupid heartbreak and I thought the was the end of the world.
Then I got back to res and I felt strange
My diagnosis happenened and life changed completely after a man uttered three words into my life that changed my life into a series of hurdles and challenges and life completely changed Nothing was normal anymore Life's focus completely changes and home is a far, distant concept unknown to you.
Home became a bubble Home becomes a hospital room
I never knew I missed my own bedroom so much God, you never appreciate something until it's gone do you? You don't appreciate anything until you hear "you have cancer" and your greatest fears come to life
You see your parents beg to God you'll live You don't want to see them because you don't want reality to hit you
Then, you get home and you have to come out of this daze This is real This is happening
Cancer is so real and in your face You can't avoid it anymore This happened and you can't stay in this little positive bubble for too much longer
The bubble has burst and reality has hit you right in the face.
