I thought I had it all figured it out, then I got sick. I wanted to be a journalism major. All I want to do is write. As far back as I can remember all I have wanted to be was a writer, but I guess I need a job I can make money at. Obviously, I can’t make money as a writer if I never have the nerve to show anyone the things I write. Damn you, Mrs. glass. I hate that you said that to me in 8th grade.

It all started with Mitral Valve Prolapse and an infection. From there, it just got worse. I got sick in April of 2007 and I’m still sick. I’ve had weird blood pressure issues, been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, acid reflux as well. I’m scared my heart is going to give out. I hate the pain. I’ve tried to take care of myself, but I keep getting so depressed and it makes me want to give up. I know I shouldn’t think like that…

i didn’t focus much on this goal last year as i was sick for most of the year. maybe i’ll be well enough this year to get this one done!
