I can't come up with a title that best suits this, because I'm just
gonna go crazy!
PLEASE read the whole thing before you leave a mean comment or say I'm rude.
Anyways a lot of people don't know this
about me, cause it's not something I go around singin' about, but when I
was 11 years old my mom passed away due to leukemia, it's cancer of
the blood, in case you didn't know.. So, cancer is a super sore subject
for me and this girl just needs to let it out! Okay, first off! Those
pictures on facebook that are like "lyke if u hate cancer if u dont god
gon' punish u" uhm one, nice grammar, if you're going to do that at
least have the decency to type like a human being! It would be "Like if
you hate cancer, if not God will punish you" and ladies and gentlemen I
don't know if you know this, but no body "loves cancer" I don't know a
single damn person who jumps up and down going "yippee I just love me
some cancer" are you for real?! and God is going to punish me because I
didn't like a damn picture of spongebob telling me I need to like if I
hate cancer, cause God is going to send me to Hell if I don't? Awe,
hell nah! God doesn't base his opinion of you on how many pictures you
like on FACEBOOK! Are you kidding me right now? That has to be one of
the most stupid things I have ever heard in my life. And the fact that
there is a like page for people who hate cancer, WHAT?! I do not need to
justify that I hate cancer and how it made the rest of my life harder
than it should be, by liking your freaking facebook page! Reality check,
bro, NO BODY LIKES CANCER, so give it a break! Now, there's a page for
"Cancer is funny, because it kills people" oh no motha @##%#^ you do
NOT go and put that up on the internet, ya'll are messed up! I was on
YouTube checking out the "Did you know" videos and I came across this
boy Jordan, and my God that boy, words can not express how much his
video touched my heart! For those of you who don't know what I'm
speaking of here is his video!

Anyways,
I was reading the comments on the video and some kid had the audacity
to say "cancer is natural selection survival of the fittest they should
let people like them die" I did reply to him, because that is something
you don't say, you don't know who has been through something like that,
yes cancer is natural, but with our world now and our technology we can
SAVE lives! If that person who wrote that were the one with cancer he
or she would have a totally different outlook on the situation. Like
dude, show some damn respect! This kid gets picked on at school because
he has cancer and he puts this video up, for what?! For you to sit there
and say he should die?! Hell no! He did it to let people know his
story, to be an inspiration, to help people realize it's okay, you can't
help that you're sick! Don't let some person drag you down because they
have low self-a-steam, be who you are, whether you're sick or not, you
are who you are! My approval isn't needed, and either is the next
persons!
Anyways, I know this month is breast cancer awareness
month and I know it's important, but did you know September was Leukemia
awareness month? What pisses me off most is all of my friends know I
lost my mom to this when I was only 11 years old! Not one of them stood
by me and helped raise awareness to Leukemia. They weren't even there
for me on the 7th year mark of my mom's death, which happened to be in
September, and crazy enough her favorite color was orange, and that's
the color of the ribbon! I understand we all have lives, but for none of
them to even be like "hey! do you need to get out, do something? Keep
your mind busy?" Really made it 10 times worse, I Instagramed and
tweeted and even posted on facebook about how I was wearing orange to
raise awareness and to just not be someone who didn't do anything about
it. It aggrivates me when I see all these girls posting about breast
cancer, like hello! there are way more cancers out there and breast
cancer is not the only one you can get! Stop being naive and realize
that there are so many people fighting all kinds of cancer out there,
it's not just breast cancer, we need to stand up to cancer! When I say
that I don't just mean we need stand up only one kind, NO! We need to
bring equal awareness to every cancer! Not just the ones that a
celebrity has. And even then Farrah Fawcett had cancer, but I bet none
of you could tell me what cancer she had! It was anal cancer. No one
talks about that! That is still a big deal! Patrick Swayze had
pancreatic cancer, how many of you actually knew he had been battling
that?! No one talks about the different kinds of cancers, it's always
breast cancer, yes it is important, but bring awareness to the others
too! Maybe I'm overreacting, but I wanted to see just how many people
cared about Leukemia awareness month, and I'm part of a Facebook group
called "Leukemia Awareness Month - Go Orange in September!" But I
checked instagram's hashtag to see how many pictures there were...41.
How bout for breast cancer awareness month? 6,779 and counting and
that's just on the first day! So clearly it is the more "popular"
cancer, but I just want people to know about other kinds, like cancer of
the salivary gland, like I don't even know about it, but I'm willing to
educate myself on it and learn about so many others! Now, Leukemia
will always be the cancer I'm most attached to, idk if attached would be
the right word, but I can't think of anything else, anyways I want to
help people realize there are more cancers out there that you have to
still be aware of, just because I've seen leukemia in action doesn't mean I'm saying you need to learn about just that one! No. Educate yourselves, ask a doctor for brochures, information, ask questions! There is no such thing as a dumb question!
Ladies, cervical cancer is right there with breast
cancer, it's a big deal! I don't understand why all these other cancers are swept under
the rug.
I could go on for hours about how cancer has
affected my life personally and how we need to raise awareness about
EVERY kind of cancer, but I don't want to repeat myself, because I feel
like I already have. And by all means I am NOT trying to say breast
cancer isn't important because it is! I just want people to be aware of
all cancers, take care of yourself know what is happening to your body.
The doctors don't know why mom got cancer or how she got it, and
they'll never know, it's just the way it goes, so please be aware of all
of the cancers out there! Skin cancer is a big one too, it's talked
about, but only in the summer really, at least around here! Anyways I'm
out! I'm too tired, and I'm just going to get even more mad.
♥Goodnight blogger!
PLEASE!
No one get mad about this, I know so many people who have had breast
cancer and I support them as much as I support the other types of
cancer! I am right there with everyone saying get checked for breast
cancer, don't let it slip under the rug, just while you're bringing
awareness to that, pull the others out from under the rug! Until the
day where cancer can be cured with a snap of a finger (pigs will be
flying before then) we need to stand up to it and educate ourselves!
Alright, now I'm done ♥
