A full life? With faith, love, + determination: absolutely

2 comments

I hear frequently I need to settle down and have babies. Okay, I want that. I’ve made that quite clear time & again. However, I am not “typical” in any way. It’s going to take a really special guy. I have the balance of a toddler, at best. My right hand is half a hand, on my best days. I fall. I over step & can’t catch myself, sometimes. I end up in the floor howling in pain, bawling. I don’t say this for sympathy. I say this for honesty. I go through more than most know because I don’t want to dwell or give my condition more power. I am tough as nails because I have to be. I seem unaffected, but I’m not. Some days, it sucks being me. That said, I love my life. I know I am a living, breathing, miracle.

I should have died as a newborn, but I didn’t. I know that’s because God had/has big plans for me. Some of those plans lie in academia, and some of them are through this work. I don’t know exactly what is is coming, but it’s gonna be crazy, and oh so beautiful.

I don’t want to talk about how I do, but I do.  It has to do with the gift God saw fit to give me on both sides of my family tree. Who am I to argue with that? I can’t. I will use every one of my talents & gifts completely up until God is done with me. I will make everybody who loves me proud of me. When I find the guy that can handle me and is cool with everybody I consider family, we will figure out together how to balance our careers, and the family you so desperately tell me to have.

I am not typical & I won’t ever be. I actually see my different circumstances and challenges as a gift now. Why? If I were “normal “ I don’t think I’d have the story to tell that I have. I also know I wouldn’t have the testimony I have now and will continue to have as life goes on. If I weren’t me: would all of y’all be here reading my words or watching one of my videos? I tend to think not. Using my story and testimony to make the world better makes everything I’ve gone through/will go through worth it in my opinion.
