Confessions of a Groupie
You know, I am really excited for this new year. I am hopefully going to be done with school by the end of this year, going to be working on getting my weight back to what I like, and the best part, all the upcoming concerts I get to go to. I am going to see Micky Dolenz from The Monkees at the end of this month! I have always wanted to meet them, and if I have to do it one at a time, so be it! And then one of my favorite bands, Simple Plan is touring soon and so my girlfriend and I get to see them again.
Its so great to be able to go on these little road trips to get to do what I want to do. Half my age ago (that sounds funny…) I wouldn’t have even fathomed being able to go and do whatever I wanted by myself. I know some of you out there who are just being diagnosed with dysautonomia may feel like the hard times will never end, but they will. Trust me. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and you will be back on your feet (literally for some of us) doing what you love to do. If you love to run marathons, if you want to be outside playing with your friends, if you want to ride a unicycle while playing a violin while blindfolded…you will be able to do it! Never doubt yourself or what you are capable of.
Jessica here knows that she is gonna go and meet Micky Dolenz and meet her boy from Simple Plan again. And if I have to be wheeled in on a stretcher to do it, so be it. I am not gonna let this hold me back from doing what I want to do…no sir.
Seriously, you can kick dysautonomia’s butt. Don’t ever let it control you.
