my first shoot back at The Bar since January š It kicked my BUTT š§āāļø but it meant everything to me to be there and get this done for Breast Cancer Awareness Month š©·I went a little too hard and have been in bed all weekend but it was absolutely worth it. thank you @brookekorine @gracedbyyourpresence @stephe24 @TheWigFairy @Birch Event Design @glossipgirl @senadakxo and the best team for making this happen. š©·šŖš¼šš¼ šcaption below if you canāt read the screen bc same Iām cross eyed at this point š š some things Iāve learned from having cancer (so farā¦) š©· literally everything I get to do is a privilege. eating. sleeping. standing up. š©· and that includes things I used to complain about. like āhavingā to get my nails done. or āhavingā to wake up early for pilates. now I canāt wait for the day I get to do those things again. š©· thereās power in reframing negative thoughts. instead of āchemo makes me sick,ā itās āchemo is kicking cancerās ass.ā instead of āradiation makes me tired,ā itās āradiation is finishing the fight.ā instead of āimmunotherapy makes me nauseous,ā itās āimmunotherapy is saving my life.ā Iām lucky to live in a time where medicine exists to do that. š©· my old hair wasnāt as bad as I thought it was. Iām sure yours isnāt either. youāll look back at the photos youāre taking now (the ones youāre picking apart) and realize you looked really cute. š©· pain gives you empathy. when youāve suffered, you start seeing people differently. you stop assuming. you start listening. š©· and God doesnāt waste anything. thereās purpose in pain. I donāt know how, but I know God will use it. š©·
