I Have Epilepsy

I never really took epilepsy to be life-threatening or something that could potentially kill me. I thought that, because I haven’t had a seizure in 5 years and on medication, I’ll be fine.

But hearing about someone dying in their sleep after having a seizure, despite receiving treatment, it really makes me wonder. I may be fine for now, but who knows what can happen in the future.

Saying that, I’m not afraid of death. Never was. I know it’s inevitable. It’s going to come one way or another. I’ve accepted that.

But I’m only 23. I have so many things that I want to do and accomplish, before I do go. I want to travel, share my art, do some good in the world.

I deal with them as well. In my case they were an adult onset case.

Don’t let anything stop you from what you want.
This is a manageable disorder.
