I had a rant earlier today that brought out my opinion which I try to keep to myself and fail often at.
Hence my post earlier. But I was complaining about negativity and well, now Im going to be negative or put some folks in their place I think they need to be.
At first I thought that all these makeup less self photos were silly and just another Facebook thing to keep us entertained. But, throughout my day I would see them and then remember they were doing it for cancer awareness. I thought it was cool! Then, later today I saw an article where this person is ripping people a new one for posting these, because she has had cancer and if, I quote, "she had seen it in the midst of her chemo she would have wanted to muster the energy to beat them with her drip stand" Seriously?? Im not making any less of this person's battle, but to sit here and act like positing makeup less photo is a vicious "how could they" big deal, is absurd.
I can't tell you how many times it has made me think today, not only of those I know and love who have cancer, but also those dear to me that are sick in general just because of these photos! This has had my mind going on things I can do for those people or others! This is a REAL sickness and many die every day from it. Most don't have a clue what some go through to try and get better. You literally kill your body to make your body better. This is no walk in the park and I can guarantee these folks posting themselves with no make up mean no harm, BUT GOOD! Yes, I am sure everyone knows what cancer is. But when were they reminded how real it really is? Lets get a grip people! AND then those of you who have never had cancer want to sit here and agree with this person upset about these photos?! Shut it! You have no idea and are just jumping on a ban wagon because its a negative one.
Im not saying its easy and I don't welcome it to come again. Frankly, Im terrified to ever have cancer once more, but the truth is, its there and if plastering faces on Facebook with no make up raises awareness then by golly post, post, post! Heck, get naked! I don't really care an no one else should if its making people think. Do whatever you can do to raise whatever awareness for whatever sickness has hit yourself or your family!
So having had my rant here are some photos for you to gawk at. I have never shared myself once I lost most of my hair and shaved it because I was so sad and depressed that I lost it in the first place. Made my poor husband shave it. But, who cares because clearly as you can see in my next photo of my NAKED face, it grows back.
I have two other things to say, one, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for those who stood by me through some of my hardest times during my sickness and two, go share your naked faces!
Love you all!
