Now, this post is going to be very personal.

I will first start writing about what I am proud of in my online world.

After being here for long 18 months, I am happy that 11k people like the way I write, not my pictures or my life story. I now know that I write well (wink, wink).

So yes! Thanks to everyone who love reading my posts and feels a connect with it.

Though this is not an achievement, just knowing that people love you for something is something to be proud of!

And here I am standing tall!

Here comes the story of my real world.

And this is something I wear on my chest as a badge of pride. I have written it many times that I am dealing with a health issue though very few people here know about it.

For those, who are unaware, I am living with advanced metastatic cancer.

I was diagnosed with advanced cancer in 2017 after I miscarried, and since it’s already advanced, it can’t be cured. I have to live with it always.

I still have tumors in my body though they are controlled by the medication I take every day.

I am closely monitored, and I visit Cancer Hospital every month (for the last 27 months) where they take tubes of blood every time plus a few more tests to check if my organs are working properly.

I don’t know when I would be comfortable sharing my whole story here, it takes a brave heart to show the world your wounds.

And trust me there is so much hidden there in some corner of my heart.

For now, something I am proud of every day is that I am living with something which is killing me every day and I am literally killing it every second.

And with all this, I am active.

I go to Yoga.

I have participated in Marathon next month. I try to keep myself active as much as I can though there are limitations. I can't stress much.

Please don't buy into the idea that it's just medicine that is helping me breathe every day, it's a lot more than a pill (Though I am so so thankful for my medicine). I make healthy choices every single day.

I eat super clean (I am more into greens and smoothies), and try to remove any possibilities which can make my body a breeding ground for more diseases.

I remember I had one close friend diagnosed with cancer in 2014.

I felt bad.

I was sad for a day or so and then I moved forward. For me, disease and death was something that happens to 'other' people, not me!

And then it hit ME hard in 2017.

There is something I want to say: Anyone can get any illness anytime. (Though I wish that never happens with anyone).

When I was diagnosed I had just crossed 30, and my doctor said that it was in my body for years.

So, technically cancer was growing in my body in my late ’20s when I was roaming around in Delhi, and I was having fun unaware of the shit.

Let that sink in for a second!

It takes years to get something serious visible in your body.

You look well today, and the next day you are diagnosed with something terrible!

You feel fit and tomorrow doctor says something unrealistic.

The disease does not happen to strange people, It happens to people like you and me.

And when it happens, it sucks.

You just want to get your normal life which you always took for granted.

Years ago I had the thought process that even if I get a disease, a pill would do the magic.

But after my diagnosis when I dived deeper, I found out that pills can create sustainable magic only if YOU support it with healthy and stress-free living.

'Mind, Body and Soul' is NOT a bullshit concept.

It works together.

At least it is helping me!

It's the small habits, what you eat, how you move, what you think, EVERY SINGLE DAY which create a big effect.

Here is a little piece of wisdom from my heart to yours: Life does not always go in the upper direction. It sinks.

The best way to save yourself is to keep yourself prepared for it.

Take care of your body, mind, and spirit.

Your family needs you.

Before I sign off, I am not a hero AND I am not a victim too.

I am no special.

I am you. You are me.

Don't treat me otherwise.

Though I am living with a disease, I am super healthy, mentally, physically, AND spiritually.

So, instead of feeling ‘Bad’, please understand that I have controlled my disease with my diet, supplements as well as medicine. I am good.

And hang on, I will share my story someday (with my reports). I will open up my wounds, and show you the positive vibes I carry in my purse every single day.
