Now here it is, 5 days until I turn 25, and I made it. I got the chance to live. To see my life change right before my eyes. It really is a miracle that I'm still here, and I'm proud to say that I'm now a product of a very caring person and a lot of science and research. I truly am lucky to be here, I won't deny that, though life isn't what I expected it to become.
I feel like I'm stuck 3 years in the past, while everyone else in my life has traveled forward. Maybe that is because I had to put my life on hold for that 3 years. Maybe it's because I just feel different. And, maybe it's the situations that I put myself into. I'm not really sure, and I don't know where to find my reasoning.
A lot of what has gone on in my life wasn't anything I could prevent from happening. This was the hand I was dealt. And for it being so difficult, I'd like to say I handled it pretty decent. All of this has made me realize one thing though. The more you take things for granted, the easier they can be taken away from you. Even though I grew up the way I did, with the complications I had. It didn't stop me from thinking I was indestructible. And at the point where I felt most like that, was the point where I was made completely vulnerable to all aspects of life and went through more things that the typical 20-something goes through. And even back at that point, I didn't think I'd live to see 25.
I guess if there is one thing to learn, it's don't take anything for granted. There is a reason why any time I talk to my family or friends, I tell them I love them. You never know when it could all just be taken from you.
