A week ago the doctors declared that I was out of danger which meant I could restart my life. 'You revived' was the word they used.

I still remember the exact face of everyone around me. Happy and smiling. But. Was I happy at that time? No, I wasn't. Still no one tried to pay attention which was okay I mean the were all h-a-p-p-y.
'Happy' what an extraordinarily stupid word and mind you when I say it's nonsensical because it has no base it is just a blabber which people use to fool themselves and yes 'I WAS NOT HAPPY' because this stupid cancer took it away everything from me.

This was my chance at resuming my studies. This was my chance at a career. This was my chance at taking back what I missed. This was my chance at college. This was my chance at love. Now, life and I were even. Now was the time I could make the world watch me and I could stare back and shout 'Yes, I made it. And no I won't look back.'
