Cancer taught me quickly about the fragility of life.
It's a harsh, bitter pill to swallow, but after enough time you get used to it. Well, to be honest, you don't have much choice because once you notice that you can't control everything, it's almost easier to let go and roll with the punches. And soon enough, you start to view life from more of a macro lens, realizing that the world doesn't just revolve around you.

Looking back, I found this to be an important reality check because so many other places we turn our needs can be met with immediate satisfaction.
