I couldn't have made it through all that if I thought life is miserable now, so why bother. I chose to handle it differently, become a better person for it, learn from it, and become a better spiritual being. It's about attitude, perspective, and what's really important in life. I am alive, do my job, go out whenever I'm in the mood for it and able to. Go to the park, window shopping, rent movies, go out to see movies, hang out at friends houses, chat, have fun, and work on the computer, have shelter, and all the necessities of life.
Life is good.
A lot of others have a lot more than I do, a lot more options as well and they're miserable, stressed out, too caught up in things. In a major way I'm grateful for the simple lifestyle I lead. No way am I letting this upset me, frustrate me, depress me, or anything like that on a daily basis. It just makes things worse, not better, and keeping a positive outlook makes things much better, I'm more upbeat and positive than most others out there and if this illness has given me that, I'm very grateful of it. I still like the same things, belief in the same things, hobbies are the same, etc.
