Chemo chic! Today is my last round of chemo and I'm pretty excited. Moving forward I have radiation and my port removal and then I should be in remission. It has been an exhausting year so far but I'm glad things are looking up!

A photo of a mixed medium illustration being held in front of an abstract painting. Both pieces are blue, but the one being held was made by OP. In the illustration, a fluffy creature holds their head, consumed with strong negative emotions . A red ex over their heart signifies pain/loss/anxiety. A transparent figure towers behind them, personifying their deep feelings in their heart. This piece is a reminder that our feelings donβt last forever. That βhappinessβ isnβt a destination, but part of the overall stops in the journey of life. To keep staying here and trying. Please stay.
Itβs easy to feel overwhelmed. To let our fears/anxieties consume us. Especially in times like these. Itβs okay to feel overwhelmed, to cry, to mourn. Donβt give up though. Please keep trying and fighting. Iβll be trying my best to do the same. Iβm so happy you exist ππ #art #nonbinary #queerartist

A picture of a cancer patient with thinning hair, round glasses and an orange and pink face mask getting a chemo infusion.
Chemo chic. Round 3 of 4 is wrapping up which means a week of suck is coming but it's temporary and I only have one more session after this before radiation.

The text 'Just Breathe' on a blue, yellow, red, and green watercolor crayon background. There are small pen sketches in the margins.
Here's the first page of my 'self-love' journal. One of the most important things to remember when things are hard. Here's your reminder to just breathe.

cover of Absolution with alligator and sunflowers
So, anyways, I'm a novelist not a nature photographer and my latest, Absolution, is about a man and his pet gator and all the misadventures they get up to out in the swamp. Along with the piano playin' wise-crackin' Old Jim. Pick it up if you like lighthearted, jocular tall tales.

A poem on a pink and green patterned page "Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living, and I know I don't have to believe in everything, but I believe in that" by Nikita Gill
When I first got diagnosed with cancer they had a patient journal class. We all made our small, decorated journals and we're supposed to fill them with love notes to ourselves but I felt like this was appropriate to add right now. Poem by Nikita Gill.

The front cover of the spy thriller Slow Horses by Mick Herron. "The most enjoyable British spy novel in years" - Mail on Sunday "The John le CarrΓ© of our generation". - Val McDermid "Gripping" - Guardian Once a Spy, Always a Spy
One of my goals this year is to try and finish all the books I own but haven't read yet, which is a shamefully large amount. I unfortunately failed already because I really wanted to read Slow Horses by Mick Herron π

Hello everyone! My name is Lauren but I prefer Hibs/Hibou. I am currently battling breast cancer (treatment is going well!) but when I'm not doing that I am an artist, I enjoy reading, playing video games and spending time with my partner and our pets!
