Fabianna Marie Showcase + You Hold The Power

By Fabianna Marie

RECENTLY I WAS LOOKING THROUGH OLD PHOTOS OF WHEN I FIRST STARTED MY JOURNEY WITH BREAST CANCER. IT WAS HARD TO LOOK AT THE SHELL OF A WOMAN TRYING TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER.

Battling not only my cancer diagnosis but my self-loathing thoughts, I felt unworthy of healing and standing in my own power. One day I was a twenty-seven year old mother and wife, the next day I had a new identity. Cancer Patient. I let those two words provoke a cyclone of mental destruction.

I sat for a while with those thoughts and photos and let the overwhelming gratitude of how far I have come wash over me. Back then I had no idea the power and resilience I possessed. As I was writing this article I thought about the human capacity for overcoming obstacles. As I sat and contemplated about the world we are living in and the things that have kept me going through unprecedented times. Resilience is the word that keeps flashing like a neon sign. Resilience is a fascinating term. It is compelling because it is universal. It crosses all human boundaries; age, race, gender, ethnicity, political, and religions persuasions. But what makes a resilient person? How do we become resilient? Adversity doesn’t discriminate. This isn’t new information, no one goes through life unscathed of obstacles. They do say obstacles teach us the greatest life lessons, but if I am being a realist, unless we are willing to recognize what these obstacles are teaching us, we are doomed to repeat them. The same can be said for resiliency.

The sun will rise and set regardless. What we choose to do with the light is up to us.
