What inspired you to start writing your current project? Let’s share our ‘why’! 🌟 #WritingCommunity

What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself through your journey with epilepsy?#epilepsyawareness #selfgrowth

Turning my childhood battle with brain cancer into a memoir was a journey of healing. Writing taught me that sharing your story can help others heal too. 🧠💛 #booksky #BrainCancerAwareness #epilepsy

What we write, whether fiction or nonfiction is a little piece of our souls, so it is very vulnerable.

Same! Nice to meet you, friend!

I just published mine titled Pearls: A Memoir on Childhood Brain Cancer and Hope

A meme of a line with a sharp spike in the middle. On the left it says “no create, only vibes. In the middle it says “creating something in a sudden burst of inspired hyper-fixated creativity”. On the right it says “wondering how I’ll ever create something again”

😭 Let me iiiinnnnn

Hey #Cansky I’m not sure if you have been told recently, but it’s okay to not be okay.

You are allowed to feel the feelings and those feelings are valid.

No matter how long you had cancer or how long you've been in remission, cancer leaves the same scars.

#Seizures are broadly categorized into two main types: focal (partial) seizures and generalized seizures. Focal seizures originate in one specific part of the brain, whereas generalized seizures originate in both sides. There are also various types within these two. #epilepsyawarenessmonth
