Fair Warning: this blog will not be in the least bit inspirational. It will be mildly reflective at best, aggressively nonsensical at worst.

Alright. Here we go. I have no real idea what this blog-ish thing will become — but I can tell you 2 reasons why I made it:

Reason #1 — I didn’t want to overshare on Instagram and subject the people who just wanted a quick “all clear!” update to a ten-paragraph trauma-dump caption.

Reason #2 — If I saw someone post about having cancer, I too would want to know all about it. So if we don’t know each other all that well (or at all), no judgment.

So if you’re here, I’m assuming you’re willingly stepping into the overshare zone. Welcome. I’ll try to keep it semi-coherent.

What to expect (hint: the answer is nothing. Expect nothing.):

I can confidently assert that there will likely be absolutely no consistency to this blog-ish thing.
New posts will appear whenever I feel like emotionally unraveling online. It will not follow a schedule, a theme, or anything remotely resembling structure.

I’m so serious — I have absolutely no plan for this at all. I won’t even promise it will be totally about cancer/chemo-related things. Genuinely no idea. Well okay I have a few ideas: I WILL definitely do a post about the full-on horror story of how we *finally* discovered I had cancer. No idea when that will be posted, but it will. Maybe I’ll do a cancer/chemo must haves list.

Today or tomorrow, I’ll post the unabridged version of my Instagram “I’m in remission!” caption. That’ll be coming soon(ish), so stay tuned. I’ll (probably) post on my Instagram story when I put something new up here — unless I’m nauseous, hyperfixating on something wildly unrelated, fully entranced by a 6-part docuseries ranking Hitler’s clique on a scale of evilness (Spoiler: they were all fully evil) or
emotionally held hostage by yet another crime procedural series with 20 seasons (shoutout NCIS).

Anyways, thanks for being here — whether you’re supportive, curious, or just deeply nosy.

Oh yeah, also, if you are one of my former students and you somehow found your way here, I love ya lots and I am going to be just fine, but this blog-ish thing is for grown ups. Go read a book. Or play outside. Or draw something fun. OR, better yet, tell someone about the 3 G’s that we learned about in Social Studies and then listen to my favorite song ever (the Hyperbole song from Flocabulary. It’s on youtube.).

Love, Miss Smith
