Hi Everyone! My name is Leslie I'm 23 yrs old and was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I've done 16 rounds of chemo and a bilateral mastectomy and I'm currently undergoing radiation and hormone therapy. While my doctors have been amazing at kicking my cancer's butt I have not been doing so well in managing my emotional well being. I'm trying to raise funds to go to Cancer Con in Denver for my birthday ( April 30 - also the anniversary of my cancer diagnoses - Happy Birthday to me!) in the hopes of connecting with other young adult cancer survivors. Maybe getting back to a place where I don’t feel like my entire world is constantly falling apart? ( A small portion of donations will cover my travel expenses and the rest is donated to Stupid Cancer to help other young adult cancer survivors find the resources they so desperately need.)  If you can’t donate at this time please consider reblogging to get the massage across.

You don’t know why you’re exhausted? You’re fighting a war inside your head every single day. If that’s not exhausting I don’t know what is.

I hope you look for me in everyone else and panic when you realize that they’ll never be exactly the same.

I need feminism because-

A man in a room full of women is ecstatic. A woman in a room full of men is terrified.

MARY FUCKING SHELLEY.  ’oh, i’m a nineteen year old female in a world where females are basically valued only as mothers, grieving over the loss of my child, disowned by my father, in dire financial straights, stuck in a country that’s not my own, ignored and cheated on by my husband, and belittled by my husband’s friends?  how am i going to deal with this?  WHY DON’T I COMPLETELY CHANGE THE RULES OF LITERATURE, MOTHERFUCKERS?  AND WHILE I’M AT IT, I’LL SIMULTANEOUSLY INVENT AN ENTIRE NEW GENRE, AND WRITE THE FIRST NON-RELIGIOUS CREATION MYTH.’

It hurts until it doesn’t. You think it’s going to break you, but it won’t. You may not sleep as well at night, but you will be fine. Numb, but numb and fine are the same.
