epilepsy has ruined my life.

and it pisses me off how people think nothing of the diagnosis. it doesn't get the attention it needs for sure.
when i was a kid, i didn't plan to NOT get a drivers license. i didn't plan on spending money on medicine for the rest of my life. i didn't plan that in the future it would be life-threatning to cross the road, cuz what if i have a seizure there?
i hate this shit, and pardon my french, but this shit is too much, and it needs to get way more attention.

I live a life of never ending joy!!! I've had epilepsy since birth, ticks, traumatizing situations and all. I've done gymnastics and cheer with my disabilities. But epilepsy never stopped me! It's not our abilities that create happiness, its our choices! I've overcome the challenge of epilepsy by taking every seizure and turning it into a champions experience! Standing up and I do everything again and again! Never ending! I see my life as if God is just carrying me. No need to fear, God is here! He will protect you,as your choices create your future and WHO YOU ARE! Life is all what you make it. Seizures are debilitating, but they don't create who you are! You do!
