What is it about us?

Today is the first day of my blogging experience. I can thank my two sisters, imperfect me and phynyxrising, for getting me involved in the quest. I'm not sure if we have even set a timeframe for this experience. A year? Maybe it is just until we have figured out whatever it is we are searching for. Well, of course that could be a lifetime. I sure hope I don't develop carpal tunnel during the course of this journey we are taking together.

So, I haven't really specified even to myself what it is I'm trying to get out of this blog. Maybe it is just a way for me to understand myself a little bit more. Maybe it's just to understand more of what my life has become this past year, and what lies ahead of me. I am not on a search to find out why things happen to me, but what needs to come from it.

This past year I was diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, it is very rare and hasn't had much research done on it. Not enough is known about this type of cancer and how it truly behaves and affects its victims. So, right now, I am living proof of it, but also somewhat of a guinea pig for treatments. As I continue to blog, I will talk more about my disease and what I experience everyday. Right now, it is a lot to explain at once and even more difficult to understand, even for me. Believe me, the lion roars on a daily basis, sometimes a little too loud, sometimes a little too aggressively. And I suppose this will be my outlet for that too.

So for today, I will just say...what is the true meaning of life? What is it about us that makes our lives?
