Struggle and Fight

I found myself in a dangerous place today. A sad place. The place where I push out everyone and well, I just cry. I cry for understanding. I cry begging for peace. I tremble because I am just so weak. I start to look at people at see them happy and it makes me mad. It makes me envious. I think it is natural to go there - given the circumstances. I spent a good portion of my day struggling. It was a bad day.

That is until I took a baby step. I forced myself to leave and go to a friends for dinner. I cried the entire time in the car on the way. It is so crazy but I am most open to crying and letting out the pain in my car. It is my haven. I tried to pull myself together but I couldn't. I took at least a hour to find "me" at their house, to start joking around wholehearted. I ate dinner and thought about going to hear some Reggae tonight. I was ready to call it a night - go crawl in bed and cry. I called my friend first and she sounded so excited that I was going to hear the music - so I decided to go.

I so easily forget how much I love music. How it speaks to my soul, it breaks down the walls I place to protect. I had a great time, I did not stay to long, just long enough for perspective.
I realized in my car on the way home, I am fighting for my life. Not that I have any fear of death, as I thankfully have the most curable and treatable cancer. But I am fighting for my emotional and spiritual life. You have no idea the amount of emotional attack I am under. I was giving up earlier today and right now realize I must stand up and fight. I have to fight to be the person I love. The girl who doesn't care what she looks like, dances her butt off to any type of music and loves to laugh. The girl who cares about almost every single person she meets. The girl who can both be a shoulder to lean on for others and throw a punch if needed. ;)


I am almost afraid to go to sleep because I often find myself a victim of fleeting inspiration. I feel alive right now. I don't want to let go of this moment as it is the gift from god I begged for earlier today. It is my peace, my break from this insanity.

I guess I just have to fight. Everyday. Go places, see people. Work hard at my job, work hard to stay in touch with people. Go on walks downtown because those who know me, know that I love me some downtown sidewalks.

I think I am going for a drive in the mountains this weekend, I need to see beauty and walk around in the freshness for a while.


Whoa - That was a rant.....much love - R

Ringing in the New year

Hewwo everybody :) Well I had my "snap back moment" on my birthday. I was star gazing on my day of birth, taking a little solo time and I started to think, what do I have to be thankful for. And it came to me. I am alive. In that exact moment everything from the past year came full circle. I immediately became excited about all the possibilities I have before me, in 2009 and beyond. I also gave myself a little pat on the back for making through the past year, without losing the things I hold dear. I am excited to continue to shake off the trauma from the last year and fall into my full stride. I had a great time in the OBX and found that I was able to really be myself, laughing, joking, sprinkling in a little deep thoughts and just gettin down. I hope you all had a great new year and I wish you all the best. xoxo - Rosie

Home!

I went through an eleven hour surgery on Thursday and was in the hospital until Sunday. I've been home for a few days and am feeling better everyday. Everything's still difficult but it will be better soon. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts. In case you're wondering, I'm not typing this, so if it sounds short and choppy, it's because I'm dictating this to a friend. Peace out. :)

Last year

On a much earlier post I mentioned I feel that I have been prepared by previous experiences to face my current situation. I wanted to share a little bit of that with you. Last year from Feb - June I went to see a doctor at least twice a month. I gave blood after almost every visit to get tested for pretty much everything under the sun (except for cancer). I was really fatigued all the time and I was in constant pain. In the end I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which if you are familiar basically means - you are fatigued and have constant pain. Feb to June was a really difficult time because I could not figure out what was wrong and how to fix myself. I struggled and had no hope. It was an incredibly frustrating time for me and I simply had a horrible time coping with everything. I then had problems with my eyes; they were watering all the time, like crazy waterfall watering. I went to see my eye doctor and he put me on steroids because my eye was infected and it caused my pu...
