Disease


We have a calling, a way of living according to our soul. 
We silence it to be accepted by the society as we have learnt to do from the beginning. 
The discomfort we feel because of this is manifested in the form of diseases. 
We focus on the disease as something independent. 
We fear and panic because of it and are unable to see things clearly as at the moment it's really not the right time to think our life over when we are so worried. 
But perhaps it is. 
The sooner we go to the root of the problem the sooner we can solve it. 
What is the thing I don’t want?
Or: what do I really want?
Let's imagine how my life would be if I were really happy. 
Fatto?
Ok. 
What are the points in which my actual life is different?
These are the things I need to eliminate. 
These are the things that make me sick. Sickness, illness, disease are only indicators. 
It would be much worse if they didn't exist because we would just continue to live a life that doesn't make us happy.
Illnesses are not to be feared.
They are not the real problem. 
The real problem is a life that's not mine. 
The sooner I create a life on my own terms the sooner I will be fine.

I'm bald

Again. Third time in the last 10 years. Second time in the last two. My friend told me it’s not 100%. The nurses told me, too. But still, it was worth giving it a try.  But now I’m bald again. Baldie, baldie, as the youngsters joke. Walter White. Or Achim Lauritzen, people from my generation and above may remember him. Bowling ball.  The ball effect is enhanced by the 10 extra kgs that got on me as a result of the steroids. Those were necessary so that I can take chemo. So in order to stay alive, I need to be fat. And ugly.  I have no uterus, it had to be taken out so that my life could be saved. My beauty and my femininity is the price I had to pay so that I won’t die. Of course I can see the silver lining. The possibility that I can be here is already a miracle. Not one miracle, many of them. It is true. And I’m inexpressibly grateful. But I’m tired. Of the whole journey. And also by explaining myself that the sky is always blue above the clouds. And that every cloud has

Today

I hoped this day went unnoticed just like countless others during holidays when you don't know the date. In Ramadan I had even more chance as I focus more on which day of Ramadan it is,but it didn't happen. The whole day I am aware that it would have been my 15th wedding anniversary. And it makes me sad. Why, you could ask me, and even I'm asking myself. It was me who wanted to end it, my life is much better now thank God, and although I am really grateful for every experience and I know it couldn't have happened in any different ways, but to be rational, leaving the UK for an Eastern European country is never the smartest decision, even if someone married an actual prince in shining armour. And coming back was very difficult so I'm just glad it's done. Why am I still sad? Maybe it's my unheard, unexpressed feelings that gathered throughout the years that I didn't want to face. My situation, respect for the people, the family, the community m

Goodbye Cancer

Image
Thank you Cancer  For the reminder  Of what not to do  I didn’t take care of myself  And you came  And keep coming back  To hold me  With your cells  With your water  For me to be held  Hugged  Reassured  Because I felt lonely  And insecure  You were with me  When people left me  Thank you  Now I'm here  By my side  I'm holding my hand  And I love myself  I know I'm able  To do big things  And I'm doing them  So with gratitude  And appreciation  For your precious work  I am taking back  My position  Of taking care of myself  You have done a wonderful job  You opened my eyes  To where my life was heading  To a cliff  And then, the abyss  This is the destination  Of everyone  Neglecting their needs  I'm still learning  I know what not to do  But still lacking a little  Know how  Of being by my side  Of keeping myself safe  And living large  And loud  And real  But don't worry  I'm getting there  So really, I got this  Thank you  I can take it from
