About Me
- Jessie O
- I started this blog in 2006 because I wanted to write more and I wanted people to pay attention to me. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and I got a lot of attention. So much attention that it seemed most prudent to blog about it. In its peak, Inertia had hundreds of followers and I'm still a little flabbergasted (and grateful) that I had so many "fans" cheering me on while I struggled through 2 years of treatment. Since achieving remission in January 2010, I've managed to create a pretty awesome post-cancer life and I am grateful every single day for all the gifts I've been given. While I no longer feel the need to seek out attention (thank you, Cancer) I do remember how much I liked reading other cancer blogs when I was going through treatment. I'm leaving up Inertia: The Cancer Years for general consumption. I really hope my story/experiences are of use to you.

What remains after radiation? A lovely girl, the light falling softly on her sweet face...have you ever seen a clay vase before it is "fired," yet after it has been painted or glazed? The glaze is not shiny or pretty at that point, but AFTER it has been in the fire, and the impurities burned away, the beauty of form and color are revealed. Thus it is with you, lovely without eyebrows.
I know, I'm bias.
Because I had cancer twice, and I was without eyebrows -- still am for the most part.
But there is just, beauty. That radiates off of you lovely. If anyone ever said that to me, I'd give them a big middle finger and say 'yeah effin right.'
But whether we wanna believe it or not. we're here. and YOU are beautiful. From the posts -- to this picture.
I'm pleased you have July off to enjoy happy things.
Sending you tons of bald love, from here -- to where you are.

This might be my very favorite photograph of you, of all I've seen. It vaguely reminds me of something...
