The Incurable Tragedy: Going Under
Dear Tumblr,
(3/10)
I remember waking up that morning for the test. As scared as I was I hoped into the car and off we went to the Morristown Hospital. In the car the only thing I wanted to do was listen to my iPod, so that’s exactly what I did. We got there, walked in, and sat in the waiting room alone for a while until some nurse came back, took a look at her clipboard, and said “Jackson Taylor,...
The Incurable Tragedy: Prelude to Woe
Dear Tumblr,
(2/10)
It was, about the beginning of last year, my sophomore year. Maybe a little bit before it. I had always been a slow-as-shit eater. I had started to eat slower and slower and I noticed that I was getting some discomfort in my throat while eating. Being a kid I though “Oh! I have to burp!” or I thought that it was something everyone goes through. No big deal. Well, I...
The Incurable Tragedy: The Beginning
Dear Tumblr,
(1/10)
I thought that the first post in this 10 part (Yes, I actually wrote 10 separate parts for this) would kind of be the prelude to all of this. A simple post explaining the actual disease, what it does, and the complications that come with it. This is more of an informative post, to be honest, so bare with me.
Yes, that title is misleading. I don’t have some...
The Incurable Tragedy: Coming Soon!
Dear Tumblr,
So, lately I haven’t written a lot here. Why? Simply because I’ve been working on a new project. It’s called “The Incurable Tragedy”. It’s a 10 part story based on all of the medical problems and woes I’ve faced in the last 2 years. I decided to write a lot, its currently ~30 paragraphs and I broke it up into 10 parts.

Something New
Dear Tumblr,
It’s funny, I was sitting on the bus today going to work (hour and a half bus ride, long time to think) and I was thinking about my past, these past two years specifically. From the first year I attended camp till now. SO much has changed it’s incredible. I started thinking more and more, and I thought about some of the.. well.. bad stuff that happened. Instantly my mind...
Anberlin
Dear Tumblr,
So I just had an inspirational thought as I was listening to my playlist of 5000+ songs. A song called “Paperthin Hymm” by the band Anberlin came on. It made me think of someone. Her name is Cheyenne Dawn Crews.
The song sparked a few memories in my head. Memory’s of when me and her were dating, and when we were just friends. Actually, come to think of it, the band...
Ways of Being Happy

1. Forget the past One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory. Rita Mae Brown You won’t be happy if you carry the burden of the past. Did you make mistakes? Did you have terrible experiences? Whatever they are, you should let them go. There’s nothing you can do about the past, so you’d better let them go and focus your energy on the present.
