Not Just Melanoma

Since I have decided the chance of ever getting Kathy Lee Gifford's job is unlikely, I figured I would start doing what I truly enjoy: Writing. When I was diagnosed with melanoma (read blog here) I began using the blog as my online diary. It tracks every appointment, every interesting news article, every fear, and every minor bitch session. Not only is it a heck of a lot cheaper than therapy, it introduced me to people all around the world who can relate to my situation. 

Although melanoma makes up a great deal of my thoughts, I have decided that I need to get back to living my life as a 24 year old female. Although I have no intention of ending my other blog, I see no reason why I should not begin another that is not entirely focused on my journey with the evil black beast, melanoma. 

I forgot how much I love to write. Who says I have to simply write about melanoma? Well, no one. But, I do not want to mix up my crazy life (read--crazy opinions about life) into a blog that has been so personal. Instead, I will use this blog to write about what ever pops in my head. I tend to read a lot, and I always wish I could discuss certain parts of books with people. Although my boyfriend listens, I am sure he could not care less about a line in Elizabeth Gilbert's book that really makes me ponder life. 

So, I have no true idea what direction this blog will take. 

But, isn't that the exciting part?

  1. I really enjoy your writing style, but frankly, I try to forget about my melanoma whenever possible. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to getting to read your thoughts on some other topics and enjoy your writing even when I'm avoiding my "other" life!
