You can run, but you can’t hide.
I hate to feel sick in front of my friends. Don’t ask me why, I just don’t like it. In front of my family, I am fine. I feel more comfortable just because they have known about my heart problem since I was born. My friends on the other hand, they know about it, but they usually don’t see me being sick.
I went out to eat with my best friend who is in town for a few weeks. He is in the Air Force, so I only get to see him a few times a year. Well, I can’t sit for very long (no dysautonomic can) so I had to try and be slick and just say I wanna put my feet up. Its funny how I wanted to try and hide feeling sick from my best friend, but I don’t want to get people worried over something that I can handle. I am out with my friends, so I wanna be able to hang out with them and not be looked at as the different one in the group. I usually don’t care about other people’s opinions about me, and don’t let my heart problem affect me. But when it comes to my friends, I do care, who knows why!
This cold I have better get out quick. I am seeing Simple Plan on Friday, and even if I have to be dragged and propped up, I am going to that show! Last time I went to see them in concert, my friend and I both were getting over strep throat, and in turn gave it to members of the band. We read an interview they did a few days after the show saying how they were sick…oops! Maybe Michael Jackson has a surgical mask I can borrow.
