I am so excited to finally be starting a blog! I have been wanting to for years, but had never really been able to quite decide on what it would be about and who it would be for. I know now though, and I am so happy to start this adventure!
My blog is a place to inspire you to achieve your dreams no matter what has been holding you back in the past, or holding you back now.
I have diabetes. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 11 years old. I am now 22. I remember at all my regular check ups my diabetic therapist would ask how I was dealing with the disease. I would be lying if I told you that it is not a difficult and life altering disease, but I will say it has never been something that held me back in life. My doctors were always amazed and surprised by my positive outlook on the disease. I never really understood why it was so strange that I was positive until I got older. I started hearing peoples stories with diabetes, and meeting people who had lost people to the disease due to lack of caring. It was brought to my attention that many younger people were experiencing deep depression over the disease. Some choose to look at it as a disability. Some even committing suicide. It has broken my heart to know such terrible facts.
I have my days, weeks, months, and sadly even years where I was letting the disease control me. I let the fear of it and the changes I had to make upset me so much that I was stuck in limbo.
I have gained a new and fresh perspective on having diabetes and I want to help others that struggle with the disease, or any other difficulty in your life that you feel makes it hard to pursue a happy and healthy life.
I am a dreamer! I see the world in full color and most of the time can always find the positive in everything! I see way too many people that are letting diabetes and other sicknesses hold them back. It breaks my heart. I want my blog to be a place that you can find inspiration for a happier and healthier way of living.
Just because I have a disease does not mean that I have to have a negative life. You choose how you live. You choose how you see the world and the experiences you are faced. I hope you find something unique in following and reading my blog. I think we all could use a little inspiration and encouragement!
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to an amazing journey on here and in life!
