Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Hi, I’m Alix. I’m a 16 year old trying to fit in to a world full of judgement. Born and raised in the shopping state however currently residing in the sunny state. 

To be told my Dad had cancer was the hardest thing in my life. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Words I never wanted to hear. To know he had a mere eight weeks left, it all seemed too real. Around five years later and he’s still alive. The cancer, he was declared in remission, left but unfortunately it came back this year. We have scares all the time and he’s still sick, but my Dad is my miracle. My Dad makes me believe that everything will be okay. I believe everything happens for a reason and this is making all of my family stronger. Cancer is scary, it’s real, but I know that he can beat it. He’s done it before he can do it again, right? My Dad is a miracle, he’s had three heart attacks and he’s dealing with Leukemia. He stays strong and it gives me my will.

Of course this has come with it’s negatives, so much illness has given me a pretty scary anxiety, but I believe for every negative there is a positive. It has given me an unimaginable need to become an oncologist. I just want to fix these people dealing with such a disease. I know it tears families apart and leaves people feeling hopeless so I want to bring optimism into people’s lives. I cannot wait to be a Doctor and to fix these lovely souls.

I love my family. They’re there for me. They know how I feel and mostly they’re beautiful people. I admire them too, because of the strength they’ve shown in these hard times.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

My Jack, I love you forever. You are my rock, my hero, the one I owe my life to. Day after day I realise how much more in love with you I’m becoming. Your perfect smile, your soothing voice, the way you know just what to say. I will love you infinitely and my heart will forever be at your service for you are the very definition of perfect. I knew from day one that I wanted to spend every day of my life with you and it has become very clear that you return those feelings. Thankyou for being there, I love you like no-one knows, until forever ends, my love.

Beautiful friends with beautiful souls.

I have some very amazing, beautiful friends in my life. Without whom I’d be awfully lost. Few I call my bestfriend but those who I do know who they are. I’m so lucky to have these people in my life and I thank them for I would not be who I am today without them in my life.

At the end of the day, I look back and realise I love my life and the people in it and it becomes clear to me that I am surrounded by angels. Someone is out there looking after me for I can see goodness shining through all the bad. 

The things that have happened in my life have made me who I am today and I am grateful that I get to live on such a beautiful planet. I wish to bring optimism to the lives of the people around me and I wish to love, that’s all I’ve ever wanted; to truly be happy. For every negative there is a positive and I see that in life everyday, I see everything happening but it’s all happening for a reason.

I’m still growing, still changing and still learning, and never will come a day when I cease to do all three. 

Have a beautiful day.
