My Wife’s Cancer Battle & How Reality Sets In

Summary

It’s the day after Christmas, and I have a lot on my mind. This year, my wife Rachel was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in April, and watching her handle the treatments with such grace has been humbling. Comparing her journey to that of my childhood friend who is battling pancreatic cancer has really made me realize how random and fragile life can be. This is why I started this vlog channel - after the passing of YouTube creator Adam the Woo, I was inspired by the legacy he left behind just by being present and hitting record. I want to do the same before everything gets swallowed up by AI. I’ve been wrestling with my own mortality and feeling the urge to create and share my thoughts more freely, without worrying about views or compensation. This channel is my outlet to unload my mind and archive my perspectives, just like a blog, without the pressure of perfection.
