Think Pink

Hey loves. Its the first of October which means it the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  It is so important  that the word gets spread because even though I'm so young unfortunately a lump was found in me and I had to get it surgically removed but not before I went through an immense amount of stress and pain. It wasn't only hard on me but my loved ones as well. I experienced leakage and swelling like no other before the removal.  I couldn't even attend some of my college courses for the fear of a random dripisode. My friends and family  had to sacrifice their time and energy to make sure I got to doctors appointments  on time and stayed to support me every time I ended up in a hospital bed. Now I'm on constant "boobie watch" every three to six months I get my daily check ups. Shout out to Dr. Angela Love my primary physician who takes care of all my needs(and I have plenty lol) and who reffered me to Dr. Alyssa Galeigl, the surgeon that removed my mass and continues to give me check ups Shouts to my Pookiebear Asia for just staying positive even when she was crumbling loving me when I was pale and gross, Regardless of what we are or go through my love for you will never fade and kisses to ALL my in-laws. Shouts to my Non-biological MamaBear Akela Tucker for being available when my dam would break in a way that only she can.. I love you with my whole heart. Shouts to my sisters, Toni love you sugga dumpling, Jua love you soooo much Dad, Jay my beautiful Dread for calling me everyday of that rough time(like a stalker lol) love you. Shouts to my Biological,  as dysfunctional as we are, on the day of my surgery you didn't let me down. That was a bigger blessing than I can ever express. Last but certainly not least SUPER DUPER EXTRA SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MY BEST FRIEND, CHAUFFEUR, THERAPIST, SHOULDER TO LEAN ON, FOOD AND SNACK PROVIDER, PERSONAL HAIRSTYLIST AND MAKEUP ARTIST CHANTEL KIYA WATTS (Whose birthday is this month on the 20th and I cant wait to celebrate her life because she constantly celebrates mine even when it isn't my birthday.) I love you you are my sister always and forever.  But seriously ladies; be mindful.  Feel your boobies, don't hide any pain ever. Express yourself. Get Checked. And regardless of any result YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
