18th Birthday

Took me awhile, but like everybody else, I turned 18. Honestly, 2013 will not really be a year I want to remember, but it is the year my life decided to take a humongous roller coaster ride. Am I glad it happened? Yes and no. Well today started out as an alright day I suppose. Went out with family, had dinner, laughed like wild hyenas, took photos to be kept as memories for the later years and drove everybody home.

As much as I wished a special someone was there to celebrate this day with me, well, I guess life doesn't always turn out the way you want it. But hey, there's always the 21st birthday. :)

Life seems to have changed for me after I was diagnosed with lupus nephritis. For those who do not know, it is a disease where the antibodies cannot differentiate which are the bacteria and viruses and will thus attack the organs. 

Being hit by this disease, yes, I was literally being hit, it attacked me when I least suspected it. Sometimes I wonder, of all the people in the world, why me? Is God joking with me? But then, someone told me, "Give me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy". These words nonetheless inspired me to move on and get on with my life, because, let's face it, the truth is, no matter how sad and down you think you are, time and tide waits for no man. It just keeps moving along. 

I'm not exactly certain if there's a sickness for it, but ever since I was diagnosed with lupus nephritis, I've been feeling a lot less than normal people do. Mind you I did searched for it on Google and surprisingly found that a lot of people out there face the same problem. It is a condition called 'emotionally numb'?

So, I guess I'm not alone after all.

But, what I'm trying to say is, no matter how difficult life may seem to be now, no matter how big the obstacle in front of you is, or how high the hurdle in front of you is, I believe you can overcome it. And most importantly, keep yourself healthy and fit. =)
