"Cancer"

This writing/ photo collage is about my struggle with having different forms of Cancer (ranging from the disease to men). Perhaps these Cancer men are a part of the disease too? ha. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer almost a year ago as well. I guess I should tell you the mark on my arm in the photos is where I had Melanoma and they had to cut down to my bone to remove the cancer. I'm sure you already know what the Astrological Cancer sign is which is in the photos as well.

It was just something that was on my mind at the time, ya know?

I've been rereading The Perks of Being A Wallflower over the past week. You know when something is so amazing that no matter what you say the words just won't do it justice, so you're silent? That's how I feel about this book; even the second time around reading it. I was talking to a friend about this around the time I started rereading it. He said that he wanted to reread it and he remembered it being really sad. The first time I read it, I think I was too sad to realize how sad it actually was. I just remember feeling refreshed and like it was the most genuine thing I had ever laid my eyes on. This time around, I guess I'm not that sad anymore because it's taking me a lot longer to read and I'm realizing just how sad the situations are... In any case, again I would love to tell you amazing it is but I just can't find the justifiable words.

Reading this book has also inspired other artistic ideas; ones that I plan to put into action when I'm back in VA in a few weeks. Ones that I can't wait to share.

If you have more questions about the "Cancer" piece, feel free to ask. Maybe I won't be so vague when we're speaking one on one.
