I speak from personal experience when I say that life is not easy, nothing is easy really, but living with an illness, or being at a social or economical disadvantage is hard. I should know as I am from an ethnic background and I grew up poor, heck still am, but that doesn't stop me from trying, from believing in something, believing in myself, and trying hard to change my own life. I am in control of my life, and although I do have obstetrical and challenges, I overcome them by trying - Not everything can be cured, or fixed and not quickly or over night, but you can try, you can persist, you can take your time and not give up, even when life thinks it has you beat! I am young but I am wise, I have had to grow up faster than I care to admit - I have a great heart, and open mind, a kind soul and gentle nature - Yet, I am not going to quit, I am not going to give up, I am not going to let anything, or anyone put me down or tell me no - I will try, and I will keep trying and fighting to get what I want out of life. Now I know it isn't easy, we all have days where we cry and look up to the sky for guidance and ask why me> or why at all?! I can not answer that for you, no one can, but I can tell you that you are stronger than you know! You can do things you had no idea you were capable of, if you just try & success is trying, not just succeeding but Trying, really trying your best - and that is all anyone can ask of you, and all anyone can ever really do! So I say to you, try, don't be afraid, I believe in you, just try, it can't hurt to try, and don't feel bad if at first you don't succeed, because it's not a race, its just you and what kind of person you want to be?! So who are you & what type of person are you?!
Be a good person first, because no one likes someone who doesn't care and isn't true to them selves let alone the rest of us. Don't judge based on looks, color, or background - be the best you, you can be - and you've won already! xx
Best wishes, may you all get everything good in life you want, but also deserve! xxoo
