I'll have my good days and I'll have my bad days. I'm reminded that this is what it'll be like for awhile, especially during treatment. Yesterday was bad. Today is looking better. Smiling at the thought of sitting around and watching locals in Hanoi, Vietnam. Take me back.
Goodbye 26, Aloha 27. This is probably going to be the most intense year. As some of you may have heard, I recently got diagnosed with cancer. I won't deny it, I'm scared and my mind constantly thinks about it. But there's a silver lining to all of this. There are better days ahead, I just have to get past the rough parts. I'll treat this as if it's a creative residency 😂. Focus on my craft and expand my skills. For now, I'll try to enjoy today. Cheers to you all and thanks for being there!

Today I had a meltdown. I felt angry and wanted to just yell at someone. Anyone. I was suppose to do my oral surgery today, which would get me closer to doing chemotherapy and radiation. After sitting around for 4 hrs, I was told by the doctor that I wasn't cleared. You see, aside from being diagnosed with cancer, I was also diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. Long story short, it means my heart is weak. Doctors think it was just a viral thing from traveling and is unrelated to my cancer. Something I'll have to revisit in two months but in the meantime I'm on heart meds. But because of miscommunications, I was not cleared by cardio to do todays surgery. So now my treatment is being pushed back once again and I spend more hours just feeling anxious. 45 days since I was diagnosed and I feel like nothing has been done. Waiting has been my worst enemy. But today was just one bad day. Tomorrow, hopefully, is a better day. Sorry, I just felt like sharing that because I'm anxious and can't sleep.

Got my MRI results this morning and it's been the worst news. But before that call I told myself that today I'll focus on small wins. Things that I can control. One step at a time. I've been wanting to share my photos from Asia but decided I needed a new website. It's finally coming together (slowly) but at least I have a platform to share all of my photos from my trip now. Thanks @verstco for helping me out! Special thanks to @mwesto and @ryandela for getting me going. First set of Thailand photos will be up by tomorrow. In the meantime, checkout the new site (link in bio📍)
