Life as I know it.

I have no idea how often I will sit in front of this screen and type away, it all depends on my state of mind and whether or not life allows me time to do so. There will be times I talk about Melanoma or being a first-time parent and there will be times I yabber on about life in general and depression. Hell, there may be times I make fuck all sense or leave the reader confused. I do use words that some may find offensive so if words such as fuck, retard or shithead offend you, then there is a simple solution and that is to go elsewhere and read some lovely delusional blogs about boxes of fluffies and flying piggy's in the sky.

Friendships on the line.

I have always known that you find out who in your life really cares when the time comes that the support is needed.  I personally experienced this over the past few months, and it is not a nice feeling when you realise there are people in your life who are just plain nasty.  Most of my friends have been amazing, mainly through Facebook.  Old school friends, friends I haven't seen for a long time and even online friends I have never personally met have shown that they care in different ways.  Whether it be just liking a status, or sending me messages, it has made me feel, well, warm and fuzzy.

Alas, there are always the ones who are just too damn self centered to bother with anything.  All it takes is a click of a button to like a status, or just a quick "how are you" message.  Apparently, this requires too much effort for some.  My last blog was about a so-called friend who told me that I have never had Cancer and to get over it.  Yes, people like this really do exist.  This short horrid bastard never wants to cross paths with Paul or myself.  Nobody makes me feel like that.  Nobody should ever have to feel like that, unless your a short horrid bastard in a loveless marriage such as that dickless asshole.

Well, I have woken up to the reality that someone who I have known for well over a decade also does not give a shit.  I looked back over my Facebook posts from when I was first diagnosed with Melanoma and there were alot of virtual hugs and lovely written words from almost everyone who mattered.  Except for this one girl.  I have always known her to be a little bit selfish, it is just who she is, but I have always been there for her when needed.  She has not once been there for me since this disease fought its way into my life.

I know I talk alot about Melanoma, but it is a huge part of my life and it is part of who I am.  I will not back down from something I care passionately about and I will not stop raising awareness wherever and whenever I can.  You don't need to comment, but even just a simple click on the like button from time to time will show me that you care, even just a little.

You really do find out who your true friends are when your life is on the line.  And it sucks.
