I had done some independent film work before I had a health relapse.
Today I had someone send me some written work asking me if I'd like to
acquire it. I emailed the person and let them know I was no longer
doing producing.
I followed this person's link. They are blind. They were a normal human
being like I was and then boom one year went blind. Now they have
articles and books published. They have written adult books,
childrens's books and screenplay.Now I know I should be inspired, but
I'm going to wallow for a little bit, because--well I like to save my
happiness for my children and not waste it on written word.
This person lost everything a non disable life has to offer and became
disabled. And they are going on and succeeding. And their disability is
far more disabling than mind.
Am I succeeding? No. I am slowly losing my dreams one by one. First, my
husband, my love poof. And he took our beautiful loving close knit
family life with him. Then my health. Then working (supporting myself)
Then half my IQ. Then my home Then medical school, then science (The
two most things important to meother than my family). Then real
estate work. Then food. (got that one back thank god but nearly starved
to death). Then film work. I'm barely holding onto the fire department.
Scraping through school. Thank God ive got my kids, even though my ex
threatens to take them from me at least once a month.
And though I have a broken pained exhausted body, its not as disabling
as being blind. Yet im feeling frankly completely incompetent.
Well now that i've got that out of my system, the truth is I still have
hope. Its at the bottom of the box once you clear everything else away.
and im still breathing and stepping and i've still got my kids and for
that i am happy.
