twenty-six things I’m grateful for at twenty-six 
growing up. the feelings of helplessness and frustration slowly washing away as you gain access to money and information. 
strawberry cream cakes, strawberry cheesecakes, strawberry chocolate brownie cakes, strawberries. 
a good night’s sleep. sleep that is 7+ hours, sleep that is not disturbed or day time sleep. but sleep at the “normal” night hours, sleep that is deep and restful. 
book readers who annotate their books and write the year/place of when they were reading it on the first page because when I come across second-hand books like that my heart.
fleeting intimacies. those brief, beautiful conversations and moments you share with strangers that you will never meet again. at a café, at the airport, at the open mic night. connections that are purely happenstance and a time being in your life. the beginning is the ending. but it doesn’t matter. they add something, if not to your life, but to your energy. even if you can’t trace it. 
the concept of crying. the release, the relief. if I didn’t have this, if I didn’t have this way of letting out my disappointment, overwhelmingness, tiredness, frustration, sadness, and pain, what would I do? what would I even do. 
dog/cat/pet owners who understand that just because they love their pet not everyone has to and some people are genuinely afraid and not horrible human beings for not going awww but uhhh when they see their pet.
translators, more specifically book translators. thank you so much for all your effort into making sure I can enjoy such beautiful literature from other cultures and languages. 
people who realize they were wrong about a certain perspective or life philosophy or stance and then course correct and acknowledge the same.
credit cards and essentially having quick access to credit in times of absolute need (fine line between hating cc and capitalism and using it to your advantage, I know). 
people who introduce me to new imagery which sounds so simple but hits my brain like the freshest of oxygen like my father saying my mother’s face began to glow like the moon when she smiled or a tumblr writer saying something makes their heart beam. 
earrings. long earrings that dangle against my neck and make me feel grown up, sometimes graceful, sometimes sensual. other types of earrings too. jhumkas. hoops. 
sunflowers. filler flowers. flower shops that keep newspaper to wrap flowers in. people who show up to my apartment with flowers. 
emails. I like that emails can be that perfect distance in communication but also so very efficient. they don’t demand instant replies like instant messaging. functional and timely. emails at work that exist in place of long meetings and emails from friends and lovers. my inbox feels like a mix of a treasure chest of precious words and an arcade of advertisements. 
older women who look at me not as competition but with this sentiment of wanting to protect/guide me, with this feeling of fondness, words of advice that aren’t patronizing but so very well meaning. 
good-quality, well-researched, engaging articles/blogs. blogs full of facts and figures that put things into perspective. blogs written in a witty and humorous tone that feel like you’re having a conversation with someone smart and warm. 
my family. my friends. for loving me even when I am difficult. even when I am bratty. for understanding the subtext of my words and actions. for accepting me even when I don’t accept myself. for reminding me of who I am when I can no longer understand the concept of self. thank you. 
clothing brands that have sizes bigger than large. clothing brands that have beautiful clothes and designs for sizes other than xxxxxxs. 
people who know how to make important days about you like your birthday and your first day at work and your heartbreak date idk. just people who aren’t so dense and don’t know what their energy/focus needs to be at what time when with others. 
glitter. glittery eyeshadow. glittery phone covers. glittery everything. all that glitters may not be gold but it does something to my brain and I love it. 
people who can help me let loose. goofy and silly and light doesn’t come naturally to me. my disposition is pensive, internally. even though externally I may seem so exuberant.  
context. the context behind a painting at an art gallery. context behind a meme. nothing is anything without context. so people who give you context, content that gives you context. 
selfies. give me a sense of control over capturing myself and my moments because with someone else behind the camera I am as awkward as awkward can get. 
the moon. stars. the sky. faraway things that are more complicated than just pretty things that make me calm. that make my mind calm. that make my heart feel less lonely. 
space. physical space, emotional availability, mental headspace. in me and in others. required but rare. 
all my past selves, all my younger selves for being. thank you for your wholesomeness, thank you for your resilience, thank you for your pureness, thank you for your decisions, thank you for your hope, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your crazy, your messy, your real, your beautiful. thank you for it all.
today is my twenty-sixth birthday and I wanted to take a bit to list down everything that makes my life lighter. there’s much more but now it’s time to go eat cake and click blurry, happy selfies.

It’s my two year “blog-a-versary”. (I started this “Brain Dump” 2 years ago today.) It was a month after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. It took a while for me to actually get in the habit of writing here regularly, but here I am. I didn’t think I’d use Tumblr as a platform, either. Yet (again), here I am. I’m glad I did. I wouldn’t have otherwise come across some interesting stories/blogs/photos and art. Nor would I’ve received some lovely messages from some of you.
So much has happened over 2 years. After reading through a bunch of my old posts, not all of it has been bad, either. lol. Here are some highlights:
I’ve moved (twice) and now residing in a beautiful area in BC.
After 4 years of homeschooling, my kid is now back in a great little school with decent support …and learning some cool things! Now, I can just wear the “Mom hat”.
I’ve taken a number of random courses like screenwriting, Italian language, autism and ADHD specific studies, chronic pain and facilitation training. I renewed my Personal Trainer Certification and completed a Running Roach certificate. Plus, I’ve returned to writing comedy again with my alumni stand-up group and have even done a few shows.
I get to volunteer for an organization that I love and believe in. Helping others follow through on their goals and teaching about how to self-manage their health issues more effectively when living with chronic illness and pain.
I get to be out in nature often, now. Whether that be in the woods, the trails or the beach. All are a short walking distance.
Been well enough to participate in 3 in-person races (2 - 5k’s and most recently a 10k). I’ve also completed 29 Conquerer Challenges.
I’ve learned, for the most part, that people are ultimately kind and compassionate. I’ve been helped a lot over the past few years and I’m incredibly grateful to know that so many people are rooting for both Ella and myself. It’s heartwarming and really helps to keep me going.
I’ve had the privilege of visiting a crazy amount of coffee shops. lol.
I feel honoured to witness and hear others stories of either coping with or supporting a loved one with cancer. I wouldn’t have had that opportunity, otherwise, if I wasn’t on my own journey.
Having the time to read books and be part of a lovely group of women in a book club.
The joy of getting back into creative pursuits I used to love to do like art, music and writing. I even wrote a book and published it on Amazon. It’s a crappy book, but it’s still a book, nevertheless (and I can call myself a writer/author. lol.)
Having the luxury to work on myself. To continue to learn and grow. I’m also grateful to have the time to spend with my kid making wonderful memories.
Ella and I are very lucky to have had the support of my Aunt and Uncle who are awesome people. I haven’t been able to hang out with them much over the years as we used to live so far apart.
Of course, we also now get to spend time with my Mom and step Dad when they aren’t going crazy with their business. We live in the same house but you’d never know it sometimes. They are very busy people but they’re also wonderfully caring parents. I’m eternally grateful for their sacrifices and support over the years.
I know there’s a lot of other great things I’m missing but this is a good start. Writing this has forced me to look at all the positives that have happened. Brightness can always be found in the darkness. Just look up at the sky every night and (if there’s no overcast), you can see the moon and the stars.
Which makes me think of a quote by one of my favourite poets/writers:
“There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.” -Leonard Cohen.
On a side note: I got to see Leonard Cohen live in Vancouver in 2012 and it was a fabulous show. Almost felt more like a spiritual experience. Here are a couple of very blurry photos taken with my then “Blackberry” phone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway, this evening I watched 3 stand up comedy shows on Netflix including: Cristela Alonzo - Middle Classy. Ryan Hamilton - Happy Face. Jim Jefferies: High & Dry. They were all funny but surprisingly, I laughed the hardest at Ryan Hamilton’s show. He’s definitely the “cleanest” comedian out of the 3. I don’t usually have a preference when it comes to that. It tends to get slightly jarring hearing constant swearing but I can listen past it. If it’s both super-sweary and vulgar, it better be also super-funny. If it’s just gross, then I switch it off pretty fast.
It’s after midnight. I should get to sleep now. I accidentally fell asleep earlier for a half hour and my body seems to think it’s rested now. Oops.

Day 2
Another day passed and my heart is filled with gratitude; gratitude for my home, the walls of my peaceful space that protect me from the harshness of the outer world. I am grateful for a roof over my head. This is the place where I can come back after a long tiring day. This is the place where family lives. I am thankful for my home, universe. I am grateful for each wall of my house, the cement, the bricks, the wires, the floor, and the mansons who with their skills built my small comfy house. I am thankful for my home, universe. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🧿🩷
Say, thank you to the roof over your head, friends. 🧿❤️

Blue raspberry soda. Flapping my hands when I’m happy. Best friends. Pen pal letters. Being shirtless on the beach and feeling the wind on my chest. Outer space. Street art. Roasting marshmallows. Spotting Mount Tahoma from the window of an airplane...

10 Things I'm Grateful For Prt 3 :
Waking up & being blessed with another day of life.
Roof over my head.
A way to and from wherever I need to go.
Food in my home. Being able to eat something whenever I want.
The job that I have.
My relationship I continue to work on daily. Not that it's a bad relationship, I just want to continue to put my all into it.
The person that I am. Very kind, forgiving, sweet, warm hearted, empathetic, open minded.. putting every one else's needs before my own.
My dog that's always happy & excited to see me any time he sees me. Even if he just saw me minutes before.
The family that I have that still continues to check on me and cares to chat with me.
My bed! Place to lay my head at the end of everyday/ take a nap/ just chill.
As I said in my post I made yesterday, some of these will continue to be the same because I know what it's like to feel/ be without those things, and how much of a privilege/ blessing it is to have them, especially after working hard for them.
This is just my 3rd post on this, but I can already tell how it's positively affected my mind and spirit by doing this daily. I've always been a very kind, optimistic person. I've always tried find something positive in every thing/ every one. Every once in a while I see where that has affected me negatively, and made me look stupid at times, and even in those times I've always tried to see the brighter side of things. For the most part, it's always been a positive in my life.
I'm ready to start working on me, and trying to get back to a happy place with myself. I'm ready to start loving myself because like RuPaul said "if you don't love yourself, how can you love anyone else?"
