In November of 2017, Cort Davies was given just three years to live. He was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant paraganglioma, one of the rarest forms of cancer on the planet. After seven surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, and experimental drugs, he felt like he was at the end of the road but something changed him one night as he laid in a hospital bed. He realized that his prognosis was simply a haunting opinion, and the true cause of his suffering was fear and the stress of the unknowns. Cort vowed to live from a place of love and to release fear, no matter the obstacle. He did so by incorporating new habits into his life that were completely life-changing, many of which he discussed in his October 2019 TedX Talk. From these habits and Cort''s experiences, hundreds of people started coming to him for advice on their own journey. He sensed something deeper was to be discovered and noticed a common thread amongst successful cancer thrivers. He found that those who had incorporated a new mindset and practiced fulfilling and empowering daily Habits overcame the greatest odds. They often lived longer, made changes they had always been scared of, found spirituality, and ultimately aligned with whom they were meant to be. Cort''s mission is to now share the daily habits of these extraordinary humans, and teach the world how to make cancer suck a lot less.

If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away - summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn''t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I''d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I''m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task. I may be doing everything in my power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France.

You''ve heard of these groups - the secretive ones that only the crème de la crème are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries - I''m the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I''m fresh meat. New blood. New money, too. They think they''ll elbow past me, that I''m here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they''ll find out soon enough that I''m not. I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I''m not. I''m here for answers, to take revenge for blood spilt on their centuries old Persian rugs. I transferred here in search for answers about what happened to my older brother, who hightailed out of here, and my friend who seemingly disappeared into thin air. I certainly wasn''t here for the attention of the star hockey player, regardless of how much he willed my eyes his way. I wasn''t here for his scrutiny or his judgment or to read into his mysterious aura. I was here for the society, because only they held the answers I needed. That was, until I found out that in order to get those answers, I needed to go through him. He''s saying if I want in, I have to play by their rules, follow their lead. It''s a game I''m willing to play. I may be the second person I know of to be invited into their society, but I''ll be the first to make it out intact.

Love isn''t always about timing. Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and roll with it. I admit I wasn''t ready. I know you don''t want to look at me, let alone talk to me, but please, let me explain. Let me tell you all the ways my heart broke when you walked away. Let me show you what our years apart have done to me. Give me a chance to find my way back to you . . .

Love and the right timing were two things I didn''t believe in. Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn''t built to withstand the winds coming in our direction. Love and timing. I didn''t believe in either. Then there was you . . .
