beautiful me

I don’t like to make myself sound proud so I don’t usually write things about myself to show off. But there is 1 thing that I know of that makes me unique and beautiful. Almost all the people I know are aware that I have a medical problem. I have a condition called mild epilepsy. This means that I have mild seizures.
These seizures happen when I am overly stressed out, feel very uncomfortable, or under a lot of pressure. But they don’t happen every single time I feel those emotions. It only happens once in a while. This started up when I was 10 years old. It was worse back then and my family and I had no clue what was going on or happening to me. But while I had these weird “episodes” happening to me, I didn’t stop doing all the things I love to do. This is what makes me beautiful-I don’t let my seizures get in the way or stop me from doing the things I love to do.
No matter what my friends and family say, I don’t give up. I know they are just trying to care for me, and sometimes I have no choice but to listen and give in, but I will never give up fighting. It’s been 7 years now that I’ve been struggling with this problem but I have to say that I’m not suffering. Having to deal with this condition of mine is what makes me strong in the heart and mind. I do get tired of it sometimes and once in a while I have to let out my emotions. But 99% of the time I keep all my feelings about this to myself and don’t complain.
I don’t like people having pity on me or feeling sorry for me because I have to go through this kind of stuff. I’ve been to doctors, seen specialists, had different things tried on me, taken different medications, but I still have to live with it. I’ve been waiting for 7 years to be free from this condition but, since at the moment, noting much can be done, I just have to live with it. Sometimes I’m ok with it and sometimes I just can’t take it. But I never give up and never let it get in the way of what I love to do-beautiful me
