There's no avoiding them, they crop up everywhere, any time, all the time! Cancer memes!
I'm just going to say it straight up, no punches pulled.
I'm just so sick of getting slapped around with: "Cancer!" Kicked, "Cancer!" Punched, "Cancer!" pushed and pulled, "Cancer!" yanked, "Cancer!" tugged, "Cancer!" pressed, "Cancer!" suffocated, "Cancer!" jabbed, "Cancer!" smothered, "Cancer!" mauled, "Cancer!" Stabbed, "Cancer!" buffetted, and bruised from all sides and up and down with memes and the media yelling "Cancer!" all the freaking time!
Know what that does? Makes me feel hopeless and like I'm getting told I should always stop whatever I'm doing and sit in gloomy hopelessness thinking about cancer and everybody I can't really help.
Why, oh, why doesn't the world want me to be happy for even a second!?
Is it any wonder I get so blistered at these sad re-shares, useless Facebook causes and the people who inflict them on me?
Yes, I know cancer exists. Yes, I am well aware of it. Yes, I've had relatives who died of it. Yes, I lost a best friend to it. Yes, I know, I may eventually die of it, though I hope to God not, anyway, I just don't want to hear it any more, okay!? There ARE other concerns in the world, many many others, which are just as devastating, and it is emotionally taxing enough without being suddenly confronted with bursts of cancer blast messages everywhere, 24/7!
