I hate that lung cancer is stigmatized.

My dear friend has lung cancer from secondhand smoke. He's 16.

Whenever he tells people that he has cancer, they react with sympathy. Then he tells them it's lung cancer.

Boom. No more sympathy. Just 'why did you smoke?' 'Did you vape?' 'You're a little young for that, aren't you?' 'Why do you have cancer?'

Fuck you. He's 16. He can't breathe. He's gone through chemo and every type of treatment under the goddamn sun. We goof off and act like kids and he has to sit down to gasp and choke for five, ten minutes.

I hate that lung cancer is stigmatized.

Fuck everyone who contributes.

― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice‎

I think my favorite pieces of media are ones that are heartbreaking but also heartwarming like I want them to make me cry and also feel a little bit better about the world
