Discovering Yourself Through Cancer
“You have cancer … again.” You would think those words wouldn’t sting so badly the third time. As if you’d become numb to them or had grown a thick skin towards them or maybe the familiarity of those words made them not so terrifying. Not the case. Those four words carry so much weight they can drown you.
Lindsay CacavolliaPublished 2 months ago in LongevityThe reality of gaslighting
As I sit by and watch these humans, physically change into different humans with different personalities, it sounds so crazy, right? Well, it is and not only crazy but dangerous. However, it is not just my eyes that take in the change. My energy, intuition, and digestive system can't deny something that the blind could feel. However many of them that deny it and call me crazy, when in reality they are crazy for coming in at 5'6 at the most, trying to convince me they are the 6'1 man I met multiple times as my everyday friend's boyfriend, she happens to be 5'9, I am only 5'3, therefore I know for a fact that they are not who they say think they are. It is disturbing, to say the least. As I vocalize the facts, this creature standing in at eye level to 5'6ish can't fathom the facts and it turns into a fight that will last until he thinks enough time has passed since that's all he uses as an apology, even when I lived with this person and my everyday friend for a few months and seen him be a boyfriend to my friend. After all, I just escaped a shit show and it was nice being in the embrace of real genuine people again, was it off sometime, absolutely, but was it this off, as off as the person I believed I escaped from, no it was not. There was a sense of consistency that I respected when I lived there.

I got COVID-19! Now what?
More and more people are contracting Covid-19 and being tasked with how to deal with the virus that has plagued the globe for a year now. The virus is characterized by a wide variety of symptoms, and still, so much is unknown of its long-term effects. This is why documenting and sharing your experience is important.

My Dream Job Has Always Been "Rockstar"
I Can Stop At Any Time I can either stop, and avoid a challenge, or find a way to climb that wall. And if I can't climb it, I can do everything in my power to go around it, dig under it, or maybe even plough right through.

Personal brushes with death
Please believe that I was supposed to be having my date with Destiny and meet a tragic fate many times over. These are just the times that I can recollect and/or was more or less informed of by others with first hand knowledge of the situations.

What is your desire?
I have been questioned a lot lately as to what I am. It is not hard for me to describe or talk about, but it seems hard for some to wrap their brains around.
Waiting on Results
I like to think that I am a fairly optimistic person. Things are not always glitter & unicorns, but I believe my life to be pretty magical! I could not be more blessed. Period! The husband, the family (including the very loved & missed, girls), and the friends that He has provided me, they are all one-of-a-kind & I love them all so very much!

Religious Rights
When someone strongly believes in something most would do whatever they can to make it happen. Many people believe so strongly towards something they don't think of what others might feel. Maybe not because they are selfish or trying to be rude but because they think it's best for everyone. We all have an opinion on practically everything, we chose our sides and we stick to it. We may not listen to what others have to say about it, but does that mean that we should make everyone else do what we think is right. We are all 325.7 million individuals not just one who thinks the same and agrees on everything, that's 325.7 million individual minds that have different ideas and beliefs. If a group of people don't believe in getting and abortion don't get one, if people don't believe in getting a tattoo dont get one, if you don't believe in being with the same genders then don't date the same gender, but don't keep others from being happy and doing what they love so we can feel better.

Saving Lives in the Only Way I Can
Early on in this pandemic, I read an article about how blood donations are lower than ever. We were in a blood crisis. Doctors and nurses were low on PPE, staff, and now blood? People died from COVID-19, and people were dying because no one was donating blood due to the shutdown. It frustrated me to no end, because those were more lives lost than there needed to be.
The Secret Helper
Do you remember the shoemaker and the elves' story? Well, I heard someone in the family share this good deed, which made me think of the story because the same deed I'm going to share with you is very similar to the story of the shoemaker and the elves'.
