Rise

Since I started my fight over a year ago there was one song that every word spoke to my heart, soul, body, and mind. Every word of every line gave me strength and courage. That song, "Rise" by Katy Perry has been played on repeat in my car many times over the last year and some months and on my computer just as many. Each time I'd cry, sing at the tops of my lungs and sometimes laugh while I cried when I reached remission. It has kicked me back into the ring by listening to those words even when I felt hopeless and I would suck it up and go back in the ring for more. So yesterday, after a long time waiting for the it's okay, I went and got this. My nugget drew the moon because we say I love you to the moon. And rise, it is my life mantra, the reminder of the fact that I will rise, victory is in my veins, because I am strong! And no matter how long and how hard I have to fight, "I won't just conform, I will still rise!"
