I sent one response that someone didn’t like about my cancer and she blocked me.
I didn’t say I was grateful for thoughtless messages and an entire group conferred about me not in support, but to label me as risky and thus decided to not reach out… until I was either dead or healed, I think.
I have been such a “good cancer patient.”
I make nurses laugh and cry and give them gifts.
I entertain my parents and everyone around me.
I’ve been gentle, hilarious, productive.
I turn shit into gold like it’s an Olympic sport.
But if I wasn’t…
If I didn’t…
If I said things that were offensive. If I lashed out. If I said “hey, you jerk”…
Don’t I get a pass?
I have cancer. Don’t I get a break?
The chemicals coursing through my body are unlike anything I’ve experienced. It’s Herculean to stay as regulated as I am.
So if I wasn’t… isn’t there any grace?
I would give grace.
Can I have some, too?

Honestly with some of these posts I just think what the F is wrong with some people. You definitely deserve grace and absolutely you would give it to anyone, and do.
You deserve Grace! Everyone does. Our world needs to become softer. It’s been way too harsh.
