talia castellano, talia, talia is all i have seen all over Facebook today and yesterday. Who the hell is she? I asked.
I'm informed she is a girl with cancer, sorry HAD cancer who was an honorary Cover Girl. Her motto was the same as a line I swear I hear in Finding Nemo.."just keep swimming". An inspiration because she didn't let her illness get the best of her, always stayed positive etc etc.
Maybe I'm being a heartless hateful soulless bitch but I don't see the big deal. To her parents, yes, they just lost their daughter. My question is, what makes this little girl so much more important than everything else that's going on right now? so many people are caught up feeling so bad for this little girl dying or a mesical condition that has NO CURE,that they forget that there so many other little girls out there who have already died or are going to die because they also have cancer, but we're not going to hear about them all over Facebook. She didn't do anything note worthy, she did the norm and is being worshiped practically by all the people who followed her and facebooked her.
Staying positive, and all that bullshit is what your supposed to do, is what every single person who survived cancer or are still fighting do. I thought I was going to lose someone I love to cancer, but instead we all stayed positive. He never let his illness get the better of him and he survived and is cancer free.
I'm not hating on her, I'm glad she is not longer suffering, I'm hating on the fact that people idolize her.
