"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?"

--Donald Miller

I am Tired

Sunday, September 12, 2010

I am tired of the needles

I am tired of the headaches

I am tired of medication

I am tired of having to constantly be cautious

I am tired of never eating green vegetables, getting cuts, having to always carry first aid kits, having to say no to fun things because I'm not allowed for medical conditions, going to doctors, getting weird muscle spasms, not being able to fully use my lungs, not being able to run, having to tell people that I'm fine but I'm still sick, being told no all the time, having to explain the whole situation to people I meet, bruises from everything, living in the fear of the "what ifs", and praying that I don't get hurt while I'm out with my friends.

I'm sorry, Pookie :(
I'm really proud of you, though! You're pretty amazing. I've never heard you complain.
