Update on my situation
Hey, I just wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on right now. I am currently in the hospital. I underwent surgery yesterday morning for a biopsy. Today, I may get to go home but I'm really not sure. Everything Changes even as they tell me one thing, things change and then the plans go on to something else. I guess that's the nature of hospitals.
What I am dealing with is pretty nerve-wracking. There is a high likelihood that what I am facing is a type of lymphoma. Not what I imagined and certainly a stress-inducing thing but, I have the benefit of knowing that it is likely hereditary. And I also have my mom with me who has gone through this herself. She has been in remission for 10 years. So I have a lot of hope.
Yes, it is scary and I am nervous. But I am also extremely tough and have been dealing with health problems most of my life. So this isn't really anything terribly new other than that it's just more severe. What this is going to give me however, is more of an opportunity to spend time doing things like this school. It will give me time to work on projects I've needed to do for a long time which I could not do because I was always working.
I fully intend to use whatever comes my way to my advantage. And let me tell you where that comes from. The god Loki is known for taking a very unfortunate situation and turning it around to his advantage. He is the master of this! And as someone who deeply respects Loki and finds a kinship with him as someone who has always been an outcast, I feel that I will be able to utilize this skill as well.
I think perhaps now more than ever, I'm going to be leaning on my faith in the gods, my ancestors, the spirits of the world, and my own inner fortitude. I will also be leaning on family and friends to keep me upbeat in times when I feel a little down. I am facing a lot of financial hardships but I'm going to continue paying for this subscription as it is really cheap. And I may utilize my skills to try to generate income in some way or another.
I just really wanted to touch base with everyone because this school means a lot to me and I don't want to give up on it just because I'm unwell. To be honest I think doing things like this will keep me on my toes, keep my mind thinking and keep me busy rather than focusing on how I might feel or what I might be going through. I need all the distractions I can get and this is a perfect one!
So, all of that being said I hope everyone is well and just bear with me as I have time to add more content. I think it will also be beneficial for anyone to see me going through this, and actually leaning on an uncommon faith. Most people run straight for the most common faiths when they feel their life is on the line. It seems like the Surefire bet or the right place to go. But for me the only right place is with the gods of my ancestors. They are the ones who kept them alive for thousands of years. This will give me an opportunity to test that Faith once again and honestly give myself over to it in full in a way that perhaps I've never had an opportunity before.
While I know Witchcraft and rituals will not cure cancer or whatever else might be going on with me, it will help me to focus myself on what's most important. It will help me to remember to take good care of myself and to connect with the spiritual realm in a way that will help bring me peace. There has never been a better time for me to share that kind of commitment to my beliefs and express the ways that it has helped me so that others may see how it could help them.
So that is my goal. Thank you for reading and I hope everyone will benefit from my experience as I am going through it.
