Maybe Isn't an Answer

Dear Blog,

I'm now about 17 and a half years old. Half of a year until adulthood! Sounds exciting yeah? It really would be if I didn't have as many health issues. I officially have an autoimmune disease. In short words it is my body fighting a sickness that isn't there; as an outcome, I'm sensitive to, and allergically react to everything. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. And in third grade words; I have a REALLY big owie. Lol That means no soccer, no meat, no being in the cold, no using the vacuum, no running, no stress, and the list goes on! Funniest thing yet, I just so happen to be allergic to antihistamines and the works that soothe and relieve allergic reactions. I have recently begun taking the very strong corticosteroids. Yeah, those didn't work either. There are 2 more medications to try but as the 8 ball would say 'outlook not good'. This all pertains to luck now. THAT all aside, many great things in my current maturing life are staying right-side-up. Things such as my mental stability for example. Haha That has been tested so much at school and pretty much everywhere. I'm a mental beast. Watch out. xD Also my religious side has come into the picture quite nicely now. Being religious helps create the balance that I really need. I enjoy it, I learn from it, and I grow from it. I won't be able to say that I went through teenage years without mentioning the religious aspect of it. Hence the tattoo that I also got that has a bit of religious meaning to it. (As well as many others) WELL that's a wrap folks. Be back soon.

Does the Word 'Normal' Apply to any Teenage Adolescent?

Let me tell you what it feels like to be completely limited of what you are capeable of and of what you want and could do. So i'm into the whole sports scene; yeah. I'm into the whole competeing against other teams; yeah. I'm into sports to relieve stress; hellz yeah. But what can't I probably ever do again? It sucks to have rubber joints and ligaments y'know? Coming up soon is soccer season and God I can't wait to get into it. But because of my rubber ankles I wish the season could wait. It's been like this for ages so i'm used to it but it still gets me down. I've already skipped Rugby season at the beginning of this Jr. Highschool year and that took its toll on me badly enough. While sitting there watching the games I almost couldn't watch because I needed to get on the pitch! So the choice narrows down to this: 1) Play soccer, do what I absolutely love, and get all of my stress out --but risk the chance of my ankles never healing properly again and when i'm like 24, i'm walking in pain everyday OR 2) Skip soccer with out any injury risks and watch in agony as the others play the games... It's a tough decision I know! Additions to this blog are gonna be later because it being 2am I think some sleep would be good.

In Who's Steps?

I am currently a 16 year old who moved across the seas for now 2 and a half years. I was quite excited to leave somewhere old that I'd been for my whole life and I couldn't love it any more where I currently live. I was ready for some sort of change and moving over seas sufficed. It couldn't have been a better opportunity; I'm glad my dad accepted the offer. I am very athletic when it comes to soccer, rugby, volleyball, or frankly something I find I'd like to challenge myself with. I have a large family of 8, including myself and my parents. I won't even start with the amount of cousins I have... I couldn't love my family any more; despite our occasional disagreements. I also love art. I feel that art calms me down and lets my mind focus on one thing rather than what may be keeping me stressed. Not to mention that I think it looks so cool. Did I mention I love to cook? It's true, not only is it fun; but it's also generally rewarding. Im the type of person that you might mis-judge based on a first appearance. I'm pretty shy with a lot of things. After meeting me, and after overlooking my "blond" moments, I'm sure you'll be wondering why I was shy in the first place. This is why I created a blog --to enlighten and get out things I may not talk about normally in my moments of 'shyness' or when I'm more introverted.
