As frustrating as it can be
I have to accept that it is a part of me
Wherever I may want to go
It is something that will show
My epilepsy
I have often tried to deny
I have often needed to rely
Help is a word I use
Help is something I cannot refuse
To me, many cautions apply
This is not the end of my life
It is something to live with, a strife
I will still be able to succeed
As long as I choose to proceed
Epilepsy, not the center of my life
These are words that were written when I looked upon my life with the aim to accept having Epilepsy. I looked upon how I felt about it, how it had been affecting my life and, also, how I wanted to move forward. One of the things that helped me to continuously move forward is the belief that it is up to me to decide where my life goes. My life can sometimes get delayed and I can have moments when I feel extra challenged but, as long as I know what I want and stick to my goals, I will succeed and live a full life. Life is quite a fruitful journey. =)
Hello Astrid
I have been enjoying your words and writing. Inspired and inspirational. You always met the challenges in your life with determination and strength of spirit. It comes from a good heart. I hope this finds you and your family ( and your mom ) very well. It has been a number of years since our paths crossed. Mr. Michael Bennett grade 8. I came across your name a few days ago and internet search found your writings. Thats what retired people do. All the best, take good care.
