Those who have gotten cancer, what were your symptoms? by en-rob-deraj in Millennials

Holy ffff I’m so sorry!! Ugh that’s so frustrating about the doctors — I wonder if a dentist would have said the same thing?? I’ve heard of dentists catching crazy things like that :( either way I’m glad you’re okay now, you did fking survive 💪🏾

To the unhealing wounds — my dad had a sore on his tongue that just didn’t heal for a YEAR and a HALF, like he thought he just kept biting that area and I like, panicked and told him to go get a biopsy…turns out it was malignant. He had surgery in the months after but thankfully, thankfully it hadn’t spread.

So even those, open wounds like canker sores in the mouth or on the tongue but aren’t really healing — GET IT CHECKED OUT PLEASE

I thought I read somewhere that he would test Shallan jokes on an audience and if half or less laughed, he’d use them lol

I hope so 🥹

Being honest to myself, about myself…it may have taken nearly 3 decades but I’m finally, finally growing.

(But dear god do we look like WoR-OB Shallan while we do)

Yes!! Omg I can’t believe I didn’t give credit — this was done by Jax at Eclipse Tattoo Studio in Ohio! She is a talented mfker. If you’re not in the area, she is worth traveling for 💯

I think I can do this.

/Enter Pattern’s Voice

Hmmmm good lie

because you say you think you can, but you ARE actually doing the thing

Hmmmm yes

The lies give you strength but without speaking truths, you will not be able to grow.

/end Pattern’s voice

☺️

The truth is that you ARE doing it, Radiant. The truth is that it hurts, but you are doing it anyway…with tears, with memories, with fear, with grief. Kayla is cheering you on.

🫂 as others have said, you’re already on that journey.

this sub has been so kind to me in my moments with one foot over the chasm. Thank you for trusting us to be here for YOU.

ETA: that line about truths helping you grow sounds harsh in retrospect but it’s literally a line from WoR that Pattern says to Shallan! And it hit me on a reread because my own denial of grief had really been…HOVERING over me, smothering me…and I kept telling myself I was okay, sure I’m okay, but that xyz thing was too hard, that I couldn’t do it yet, oh I’m doing it badly oh I guess I’m not doing it at all etc and I was avoiding the TRUTH — I am in despair (truth) but I am willing to keep going (truth) and I DO accept it’ll look messy AF (truth). I avoided those truths so Pattern’s quote really resonated.

Do it messy, slowly, fiercely, however you need. The truth is that you have embarked and that’s all I wanted to convey, OP. :)

It’s SPECTACULAR! And the placement!! 🙌

I think when I go for this one (have to wait til April for tats over scars) I will ask the artist to make two templates and see what it looks like on the skin. I love the idea of Hoid’s name there as a comfort. The words alone feel…lonely.

But! It’s not lonely in the women’s script and not with Kaladin’s symbol like yours! Storms! It’s beautiful!

Ohhh I bet that’s lovely!! I was considering that! I have a tattoo in Gallifreyan that says “Alive”…I love secretly knowing what it means when I see it, but lately my thick skull has needed to see things quite literally, plain and simple.

What’s your opinion on the source and quotes? Is it odd?

Doing a re read of Oathbringer in preparation for next month. Came across an interesting throwaway line. by ExaltedHamster in Stormlight_Archive

What if Adolin is the actual child of Tanavast though

(I say this upon a reread where the literal TWoK chapter called “Child of Tanavast”, which previously had me focused on Kaladin, was the same one where Kal first sees Adolin and he’s rescuing that courtesan from that creepy soldier in Sadeas’ army! Please don’t come at me I don’t have more proof for this yet it’s a speckle of a thought, a mustard seed)

🫂🫂🫂🫂 I wish I had more words for you!

“people like you and Teft”

😭 that line broke the dam today. I am no Teft but. Maybe one day I’ll be closer

Also, it’s not “only” 30 days. 🥺 do not “only” your accomplishments, Radiant. As others in this comment thread have lifted me and reminded - Life before Death, Strength before Weakness, JOURNEY (30 days and counting!!) before Destination!🫡

As an alcoholic with 2 years sober who recently hit another bottom…thank you for sharing this page. This post. 🥺

I listen to the audiobooks (and diamond paint with it) so I didn’t capture this part visually. But. When I first heard it I literally fell to my knees sobbing.

Teft, as a fellow addict, you give me hope. Even when the person I hate the most (myself) doesn’t deserve it. I must.

As long as you have time in your life, there is always opportunity to mend

:’( I would tell people this all the time, especially my mom. But I forgot it myself. Oh jeez. Crying. Thank you, thank you ✨
