18/F/St. Paul, Minnesota Join Date: May 2008 | A gentle breeze blew through her golden blonde hair, causing it to sparkle in the sunlight like a thousand diamonds. She knew that this would be her only moment of peace for the day, likely the rest of her life, but she was content with that; she didn't have much longer to live anyway.
She could almost feel it attacking her own body; a malignant cancer that could only spread and kill. She had been diagnosed only hours ago, with a life expectancy of less than a month. How could it have appeared and spread so fast? But she didn't become a recluse. She didn't let it take the world away from her. Her insides were black, but she was still beautiful.
She stood, giving a soft sigh, and almost reluctant to return to the house. But she knew that they needed to know. She had accepted her fate in that small moment of peace by the water. Now all she had to do was help others to accept it as well.
