Never thought we’d be here, but here we are. 😭

With a port in my chest and my curls officially gone, this chapter continues to humble me. Eleven days ago, my brother-in-law shaved my head while my niece held my hand.

The side effects are getting more intense with these waves of nausea and exhaustion that come at random. Your girl is inside way more than anyone should be, while missing so much of my life right now. 

I’m learning so much, and I still have a lot to unpack, yet this chapter has taught me unconditional love. It’s reminding me that my worth isn’t tied to my productivity but that my identity is found in the Creator of all things.

The high expectations I’ve always had for myself and the pressure to show up at full capacity just aren’t realistic right now. My energy isn’t there, and my capacity is low.

What’s been hardest to comprehend is the amount of love, care, grace, and support I’ve received in a season where I’m not able to show up for others the way I want to. Yet people continue to show up for me. And I feel like I’ve received the greatest love letter. 💌

Chemo round 7 of 12. We’re over halfway there. Catch me back in the bike lane and back in the ring when this is all over. 🥊 #fightingbreastcancer #mightdeletelater
