It's back...

Dear Diary

Dear Diary:
Hi! I'm Izuku Midoriya! My best friend calls me Deku though. Most people think Deku means useless. That's not what Kacchan says though. He told me Deku means brave. It means that I've overcome being useless and now I'm stronger than I was before.

Last year, I got really sick. It was horrible. Everyone kept pretending like everything was okay because they said they were "staying strong" for me, but Mama doesn't know that I heard her crying almost every night. Everybody was walking on eggshells around me, except for one person.

Kacchan. My best friend. My boyfr- wait what?! Never mind! Ignore that! Anyways... he was always there for me. He never acted like I could break any moment. He was always very blunt and never sugarcoated anything. Sometimes it was overwhelming, but it was nice to know the truth while everyone else was lying to me.

Mama said I wasn't that sick, but they didn't tell me how bad it really was. What I didn't know at the time was that I had stage three leukemia. I didn't find out until I passed out and woke up in the hospital.

I was seven years old when that happened. I'm ten now. Kacchan told me I got cancer when I was six but I don't remember because I was really sick.

Mama, Auntie, Uncle, and Kacchan just threw me a surprise party because I'm officially in one year of remission! Apparently that means I've been cancer free for a whole year!

I thought I would be done with all the doctors and medicine and stuff but I was wrong. Very wrong.

I still have to take pills every single day, I can't do much physical activity, and I have doctor's appointments every month. Mama said not to say this word but it feels necessary-

It's absolutely shit.

The good news is I'm done with the cancer! Now I just have to deal with the aftermath...
