Being bedridden for a month changed my perspective on a lot of things...........
i always felt the need to be in control..but this disease taught me that it's not always possible...imagine being butt-naked in a room full of strangers and asking your roomie to help you with it....i had that experience, which made me believe that life really is so insignificant when it came to living. i was on top of my game, having the time of my life until bang i the speed breakers really made it clear that god has different plans for me.
Another really important thing that i learned is that we are not the center of the universe that most of us assume our selfs to be. when i was bedridden for 1 month....the world didn't stop for me nor did it wait for me to get back up...truly survival of the fittest. things were as normal as if nothing had happened and here i was hoping that it'll all change once everyone knew that i was sick, on hindsight i feel like laughing at myself and thinking all that i thought.
one advice to all that i experienced first hand is "never give up, never give in"...no matter how difficult times may be just hold on a bit longer.... coz the night is the darkest just before dawn.

ReplyDeleteOut of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
