Project For Awesome 2009 - Look Good, Feel better MakeupByRisa 2009-12-17 | Please comment on and rate this video and any other one with the same thumbnail! Youtube users VlogBrothers are going to donate $1000 of their own money to the charities featured in their favorite videos. http://www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org Shortly before my one year anniversary I wrote down everything I could remember and I just reposted it on my blog - http://www.makeupbyrisa.blogspot.com - if you'd like to read more. I was diagnosed with Leukemia (APML) in 2003 and have been in remission since January 2004. While there is no cure for any kind of cancer, with my type, doctors consider you "cured" after you've been in remission for 5 years. I passed that mark in January of this past year, so YAY for being a cancer Survivor! My physical scars have healed as much as theyre going to (I will always have chronic arthritis in my pelvic bone from complications during my first biopsy), though I believe the psychological effects, which were life altering, will be everlasting. When youre aware that youre on deaths doorstep it tends to alter your entire approach to life. At least, it did for me. You learn to appreciate something as simple as fresh air or eating a piece of fresh fruit. What many of us tend to forget is that we are all on deaths doorstep in a sense. None of us know when were going to die. Cliché as it may sound, live your life knowing that you are going to die and you dont know when. So say what you want to say, be who you want to be, do what makes you happyNOW. Not tomorrow, but right now. I am not a religious person by any means, but I am spiritual. And I do believe from the bottom of my soul that having Leukemia was the largest blessing Ive ever received. If youre not someone who looks at things from a glass half full perspective, try and teach yourself to do so. Positive energy is amazing once you learn to embrace it and look on the brighter side.
