Am I the only one on here that has gained a better sense of themselves BECAUSE of their experience with cancer? I've always been someone who knew who I was, but I also was very hesitant to speak out and stand up for myself when I wanted to and knew I had the right to. I was patient, over the edge kind, and let people kind of walk over me.
My husband asked me where that woman went?? He likes the "new" me who can't seem to keep her opinions to herself anymore and comes out of every corner fighting.............but I also think he kind of misses the "softer" side of me. Here's an example of what I'm speaking of. Five years ago, if someone had cut me in line at the store, I wouldn't have said a word. Now it's entirely the opposite......I can't seem to let any situation like that go by without making sure that person knows how I feel, how rude they are being, etc. My girls think it's hysterical and love it, I've even seen them grow stronger at being their own advocate, but I worry that I've gone to far to the "dark side". Anyone else notice this behavior change in themselves?
