Cancer gives you a vision the world tries to take away. 🕊️🎗️

While I was fighting for my life, my world got very small, very fast. When you’re staring at a hospital ceiling, you don’t care about the viral outrage of the day. You don’t care about political propaganda or the “scandal” in another state.

​You care about the air in your lungs.

You care about the water in your glass.

You care about the safety of the people standing at the foot of your bed.​

Surviving cancer didn’t just change my health; it opened my eyes to what actually matters. It taught me what is worth my outrage and what is just a distraction designed to keep us brainwashed.

​It’s scary to post about “politics” because people are so programmed to pick a side. But as someone who has voted for both sides, I see the game now. 👁

We are being trained to scream about headlines that don’t affect us, while we stay silent about the things that are literally poisoning our state and our children.​

I’m not outraged by the “news” anymore. I’m outraged that:

• Iowa has the second-highest cancer incidence rate in the U.S. and is the only state where that rate is significantly increasing.
• Nearly 21,000 Iowans are diagnosed with cancer every year.
• ​We are being fed performative propaganda while our air and water quality are failing our families.

If you think my life has become “small” because I’m hyper-focusing on my family and my community, you’ve never had to fight to keep them.

​Hyper-focusing on your family isn’t a small life. It is the only life that is real.​

I’m moving forward with the believers who are ready to look at the truth. The rest is just noise. ✨
