Must we be so constantly aware?
As I was doing my daily peruse through cocoperez.com I stumbled upon one of the only posts in a long time that I agree with. It was talking about the over abundance of breast cancer awareness in the form of pink, especially during October (Breast Cancer Awareness month). From a person who has lost a loved one to the disease, and has seen other lose people close to them, I know from personal experience I don't appreciate, well, the constant awareness. If I see an option to buy something in pink I try to avoid it. I mainly feel most of the time it's to attract girls to buy a product because of course many of us are attracted to the color pink. To get to the point, he posted a link to this womans blog who I'm assuming is a breast cancer survivor who posted a picture of her in a shirt I highly appreciated. Anyways...here's the picture. Some people may not agree, but I think the shirt says it best. "F*ck awareness, find a cure"
