Trauma does not own you— it is but a chapter, not the whole of your story. Do not polish a mask to fool the world; your real face, weathered by pain, is more beautiful than any false light. Inside you is a warrior, born from the ashes of every fall, whispering: rise again, walk forward, live beyond the wound, and claim the life your spirit deserves.

🌴COCONUTS🌴 Yes that's right... coconuts! One of my saving graces throughout chemo was all things coconut: coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut sugar (it's a natural un-refined sugar) but most importantly coconut water, FRESH out of a young baby coconut- green or orange in colour. Fresh water from a young coconut is almost clear, not white. Drinking the coconut water fresh from the coconut is very beneficial. (NOT bottled coconut water) The top of the coconut should be cut off and the water should be drunk within around 30-60 minutes. The more air that gets to the water, the less nutrients it contains. Fresh coconut water is full of electrolytes, nutrients and minerals, such as: potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus. The water is also a great source of antioxidants. In Asian countries, the water from green coconuts is used for medicinal purposes. The electrolytes in the water help to replenish cells. It can also help settle nausea, stomach upset and may also help to lower blood pressure. I used to drink the water (1 coconut a day) two days before I was to start chemo, the chemo day and then for five days after chemo was finished. It worked wonders for me and would help me feel better far quicker. I recommended coconut water to two others I know that were having chemo and they too said drinking the water had made a bit difference! #YouPutAStrawInTheCoconutAndDrinkThatShitUp #fuckcancer #blogit #fightwithin #coconutwater #chemosucks

💇 "Bad hair year" ➡ The one thing I was most afraid of, was losing my hair. Even though the doctors were very precise and told me my hair would start falling out three weeks after my first chemo, I refused to believe it and hoped everyday they might be wrong. Maybe my body was different and my hair wouldn't fall out... Wrong!! Exactly three weeks had passed. I went to brush my hair and clumps came out in my hand. I thought to myself, maybe that's all the hair I'll lose. A few days went by and my hair was coming out more and more. I was scared to brush it, I'd wake up with hair over my pillow, I'd shower and it would be all over the floor. I was traumatised and for the first time felt angry, sad and powerless. My hair was my mane, my crown. It's bad enough for a man when his hair starts thinning let alone for women. It's what makes us feel feminine. I was so angry!! I hated cancer and chemo for taking control of my body. I decided to take back the only control I had. I was going to shave the rest off myself. I sat at the table clippers at the ready, my mum, dad and aunty watching on nervously. Fifteen minutes later, it was gone. I looked in the mirror and started balling my eyes out. For the first time, I was crying. I guess something had to make me cry! #fuckcancer #cancerawareness #chemosucks #pride #hairtodaygonetomorrow #fightwithin #blogit

fight between reacting and responding.. who wins?

reacting needs the unnecessary, the meaningless

responding needs the understanding, the effort

Quite tough fight, because the former comes within and the latter comes with patience. 

The former only needs a fuel of the evil and negativity and the latter only needs patience and forgiving. 

How would life be like if some negative force divides your soul and provokes you to react and leaves you to rot there. How disinclined you would be towards that force. 

At the same time, not being able to accept that how can the only driving force be the only negative force in your life to bring your life to a standstill.
