Flo’s experience:
‘In the process of having cancer, I was reflecting a lot on what I wanted to do in life. This wasn’t really surprising, since I was confronted with death and had a ‘break’ from the life I was living. I realized by asking myself that question that this ‘break’ was actually giving me an opportunity to dream more than I allowed myself before I became ill. From there I decided to grow as an artist and I realized that things had always been more possible than I thought! Now I’m in a period of asking myself the same question; ‘if there would be nothing there to hold me back, what would I want to do most?’. And I see how it is a constant journey of dreaming and going through fears to make dreams come true! This poem and illustration help me to reflect on this theme and I hope it will do the same for you too!’
