20 years ago, I used to ask myself so many questions. Why me? What did I do wrong? Why does my life feel so hard? Why did I get this illness so young? Why do I have to deal with a chronic disease? It was such a painful moment. These thoughts affected my mind and emotions deeply. Living with a chronic illness is not easy. It takes a lot of strength physically and mentally and I believe the road ahead is still a long way to go. Even if one day I end up in a wheelchair, I will still try to live to the fullest and meaningfully. Along the way, I learned to accept what can't be changed. Dragging the matter more will drain my energy mentally. I’ve learned to live along with my current condition. Over time, I’ve come to embrace what I once questioned. The pain didn’t disappear, but I grew stronger. I learned to navigate through uncertainty, to cheer for small achievements and to find beauty in every moments others might overlook. I’ve met people thru some NGO organisation who walk similar paths and through them, I’ve seen how resilience can shine even in the darkest hours. It reminds me that we’re never truly alone. This journey may not have been what I wished for but it shaped the person I am today to be more compassionate, more present, and more courageous than I ever imagined I could be. "I’ve always believed that God chose this path for me because He knew that I'm strong enough and could handle it better than any other."
