28, cervical cancer

Shit, I'm still here - it just dawned on me this year. I had cancer when I was 19 and there was a time when nobody thought I'd reach 30, and I'm 28. Even though it's not at the forefront of your mind, it was a subconscious thing that I had to enjoy every moment and with that came a crazy lifestyle. I wasn't serious about anything and didn't want to waste any time worrying about heavy stuff, so I just skated along for years. Now I'm back to serious living and it feels nice - I've bought a place, I've gone for long-term work. I've just realised I'm going to live and my life's great again now.
