I hate breast cancer awareness.

There, I said it.

I know I'm not the first with this opinion, but it's a new opinion for me, so I'm going to talk about it. Not even 10 years ago I was super into it. I bought anything with pink on it. (It helps that I really like pink.) Now not only do I not buy those things out of educated consumerism (Breast Cancer 5 Hour Energy cannot be that helpful to the cause), but I'm actively grumpy about it. What are all these people doing walking and running and playing cheerfully for cancer. Details of the actual disease have become an afterthought in all the pink, yet the barrage of pink is a nonstop reminder to those of us with experience with cancer. Then again, maybe I'm just bitter that there wasn't a barrage 20 years ago to encourage my relatives to go to the doctor and catch their cancer early.
