It Gets Worse.

My mom and I have jumped through some tall hoops up to this point.

I am here to tell you that if you have a loved one with cancer, those hoops go even higher. Higher than you ever thought was imaginable.

Life is unfair. I knew that before this.

Cruelty and selfishness rules the world—I also knew this.

As far as I am concerned, that sentiment is nothing new. Just different evils in today’s day.

Earlier today I admitted that I feel like a black hole on the inside. It is dark where I am currently, very dark.

There are things so malicious and intentional in our world. That has always been the case in humanity.

It will get you too one day, one way or another, whoever is reading this post. You better be ready for it. I do not mean that as a threat, but rather a warning. Prepare yourself now—sow your oats. Enjoy things in the moment while you have them. Because yes, one day things will get worse.

Apathy behind a iPhone screen will not protect you when it is your time. It is inevitable. For all of us. I do not mean that to you, who is reading this. I am directing that at the general attitude I feel folks have developed towards large-scale disaster, hardship, and loss.

It is a harsh reality that yes, life is beautiful. However on other days, life is cruel and cutthroat.

Please enjoy this sad song that has been on repeat in my headphones and close to my heart.
