Remember why we are here.

primek

This week has seen some robust discussion. Some wonderful support to others and some people feeling unsupported or isolated in threads .

So on that note. ..I think we should just do some caring and sharing sayings /memes . As it helps us remember why we are here.

Those are all lovely quotes and I love reading them and thanks @primek for starting it under these appropriate circumstances,  but what we all need to remember as well is that we all have to fight like a warrior and grow a set of big hairy balls to climb up and over this shitty summit of hell called breast cancer and mine are that big now that when I walk I smack myself in the face with them when I need to, and believe me there are still times when that needs to happen still but it’s a little less often these days thank fuck. And every now and then when bc tries to give me the shits as well, I slap that mother fucker in the face with said balls too. Works a treat. I have also let others borrow my balls when there’s are still the size of mung beans caused  from the fear, anxiety and the unknown that this shitty disease can cause us all, and when that happens it helps to make those mung bean balls turn into boulders as they can see what mine can do, then they can find the strength to slap the c?** that  is breast cancer in the bloody face too so I am proud of that achievement........ and so the tradition continues. It’s my calling these days for sure,  and why myself and others contribute to this forum to let all bc survivors know that there is an esky full of champagne and vodka and not the cheap shit either to drink on the way up if you need to (which I’ve already done) or waiting for us all at the top of that summit. I myself will dance and drink naked when I get there eventually, showing off my new set of magnificent titties.... so watch out bc you mother fucker I’m coming for you, Margie xxx

Take my hand and hold
it firmly

Offered from my heart
to yours

Gather courage from
each story

Each step slowly, amidst
applause

Terrors faced and
comfort sort

Hearing listeners,
minds wide open

Every person,
different journeys

Respectful words, gently
spoken

We are all in this TOGETHER  by Steplightly Jan 2017

Ok so here’s another one thats more like the others above. 

With adverstiy comes strength
with strength comes courage
with courage comes hope
with hope comes survival. 

Thats probably a better one for everyone to read xx

Hi Soldier Crab.  I love writing and gathering thoughts, journaling etc.. Using words to encourage is an important part of who I am.  I have lots of things written from short stories to poems.  Thanks for the encouragement.

I also write too, I love it! 

This is one for Autumn lol

Autumn leaves; what is it about you,
that brings me such ease,

Shadows of the past, dance gently on
the breeze,

Reflected memories that I wish I
could freeze,

Comforting my silence, with a quiet
peace.

 

Autumn Leaves; what is it about you,
that brings me such ease,

Warm earthly colours, lapping at my
feet,

The balance of heart of all my joys
and sorrows,

The Hope and Happiness for all my
tomorrows.

xx Melinda
