A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
โItโs a strange thing knowing youโre going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had timeโฆ
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesnโt care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
Iโm not writing this to scare you. Iโm writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day youโll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing โstuffโ - more time making memories. Donโt skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You donโt need to have it all figured out. You donโt need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldnโt have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories Iโll hold closeโฆ forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybeโฆ weโll meet again someday.โ
