I started this blog a few years ago with the greatest of intentions to write every day, but as my archive of posts shows I haven't been successful at that.
My blog title, "ego scriptor proinde ego sum," along the lines of I think therefore I am, means "I write therefore I am". In a way social media and all the self-published content is a way for everyone to achieve a bit of immortality.
Today this really hit home for me. A coworker has been battling cancer for the past year. To keep everyone up to date and I'm sure as a way to help her, she started a blog to keep track of her journey. (Thankfully she's just received the official diagnosis that her cancer is in remission.)
However, through her blog she came into contact with someone else fighting cancer and who is also blogging about her life and battle with the disease.
Today, my coworker's post was that this person who had touched her life, and yet had never met, passed away this weekend.
Until today I had never heard of Daria Maluta, and yet through these online connections I was made aware of her life and how she touched other's lives. A note of caution, when I followed the link I was left with a lump in my throat after reading the last few posts of her life.
