Two years ago today, I went to the doctor expecting to hear that I had relapsed back to mono, but instead I was told to get to the hospital within the next two hours. Now, I could write for days about all the changes type 1 diabetes has brought to my life. But that would mean just about nothing to any of you. Instead, i’d like to tell you one thing that I wish I had known on July 27,2012.
Life is change.
Every minute, every second, every millisecond, everything is changing. No two seconds are the exact same. So if things are constantly changing, why dwell on the things from the past that you can’t build on?
Change is inevitable.
When something happens, or something changes in your life, what you do, how you react, and what you do afterwards is solely up to you. So type 1 diabetes sucks. But I like who I am. I’m comfortable with who I am. And I know now that no matter what, I’ll be okay. Nothing will ever be too hard. It’s up to you to make a bad thing, not so bad.
So to my family, my friends, and my dead pancreas,
Cheers
