I was banned, and I want people to know why.
I wrote a little note, not to anyone really, just sort of me pondering. My mom suffers from breast cancer, and I was writing about that in my blog. It went something along the lines of this
"I wonder..."
I wonder when I stopped being shocked at the sight of shots in the 'fridge. I wonder when the words "WARNING: BIOHAZARD" stopped scaring the shit out of me.
I wonder when I began to accept the fact that my mom "just can't" today.
I wonder when I her being bald stopped making me do a double-take. I wonder when I stopped noticing people staring at us as we walk past them.
I wonder when I began counting down the days to our little, rare, outings. When I became used to the three-week cycle that they revolved around.
I wonder when I stopped being a teenager who is scared to be seen in public with her parents.
I wonder when cancer became my norm.
Obviously, that's not the thing word-for-word. I'm still pissed that I didn't save it. But, I said "shit" and thus, I was banned for one month. Well, fan-fucking-tastic. Yeah, I'm pissed. Yeah, I think I have the right to be.
