I remember this day as if it were yesterday - as cliche as that line is. This day was one which was filled with both fear and hope. I stopped here on the way back from my surgery assessment for an RPLND and I couldn't help but feel the need to sit here and reflect. The question of my mortality which came much sooner in my life than I had ever hoped made me ponder about my own self value and acceptance. Am I satisfied with how I view myself in this moment? The world around us reflects a unique beauty and I am a part of that world, therefore I must be beautiful in some way. What is it in myself that I find beautiful? This picture serves as somewhat of a reminder to appreciate myself the way i appreciate the beauty of the world.
In the end, I think what makes me beautiful is that I think.
