So my birthday was actually yesterday, and it was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. Not to get all brain tumor weepy on you, but there was a time when I wasn’t sure I’d get to turn 28, but I did, and I spent it eating cake off a conveyor belt.

I had a brain tumor. Then I had some brain surgery. Then I made a video about it. I've missed you. Thank you for being here, and for all of your nice messages, terrible jokes and care packages.

I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, but all of you made it feel like a bizarre blessing. #brainblessed #tumorhumor #whothefuckuseshashtagsinyoutubedescriptions #apparentlyido 👇 places where I post stuff 👇 PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/simonegiertz TWITTER: http://twitter.com/simonegiertz FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/simonegiertz/ INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/simonegiertz/
