I’ve just come back from a successful driving lesson. I’ve had a few lessons now, and each time I feel like I’m getting even better at driving.
I’m really enjoying it!
My life recently, despite having highs and lows (as anyone’s life does) has been pretty “normal” – as ive previously mentioned.
This time about 6/7 years ago, I was extremely weak and poorly. No one knew what the future held for me.
I questioned whether I’d ever have a life. I didn’t know whether I’d ever learn to drive. Whether I’d ever get into a relationship. Whether I’d ever be able to work. And I know this was a horrible thought to think.. But I questioned whether I’d make it to my 16th birthday.
It was a horrible time with a lot going on. No one knew what the outcome would be. It was touch and go. We had to take risks and fortunately I was very lucky.
Look at me now, 22, learning to drive, in a relationship, working.
Im very fortunate to be living the life I’m living now. The outcome could have been a whole lot worse.
I think that what I’ve been through has also made me grateful for the smaller things in life. Any milestone I reach or any baby step I take.. In anything I do, I’m proud of!
Some people might think I’m a bit too enthusiastic about the smallest of things sometimes but I can’t help it.
Somedays I’m thankful that I’m still here, living😂
Even back then, I was grateful for the smallest things. Things some people might take for granted.
Here is a Facebook status/photo I posted in December 2012…
I was estactic about having the tube taken out of my nose! I was grateful for not having something so ugly and uncomfortable taken away – just in time for christmas! I finally looked normal!
(however it wasn’t out for long as the following January, I had my surgery and throughout the year of 2013, I had many tubes in and out of me… I looked like a bloody octopus at one point!😂😂🐙)
