What I believe in now that I lived through the RP nightmare

[Guest guest]

Sometimes when you are ill, you cant believe till the healing begins. My

life, mind and heart has forever changed.

I now believe-

that even when you think you have no more to give due to your own pain, that

when a friend cries out to you you will find the strength to help.

I now believe-

that you can keep going long after you can't.

I now believe-

that your life can be changed in a matter of years due to illness and by

people who don't even know you.

I now believe-

that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I now believe-

that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in

a while and you must forgive them for that.

I now believe-

that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.

I now believe-

that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for

life.

I now believe-

that it's taking me a long time to become the person I wanted to be.

I now believe-

that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I now believe-

that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I now believe-

that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be

done, regardless of the consequences.

I now believe-

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be

the ones to help you get back up.

I now believe-

that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't

give me the right to be cruel even if on high doses of Prednisone!

I now believe-

that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't

mean they don't love you with all they have.

I now believe-

that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and

what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've

celebrated.

I now believe-

that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to

learn to forgive yourself.

I now believe-

that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your

grief.

I now believe-

that our circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we

are responsible for our future.

I now believe-

that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each

other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I now believe-

that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your

life forever.

I now believe-

that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally .

different.

I now believe-

that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I now believe-

that remissions are possible! I would have never believed that before till now

I now believe-

in the next ten years much more will be said about autoimmunity.

There is one thing I just cant believe-

I lost two years of my life to a disorder such as RP and really could not do

a damn thing about it other to serenader to doctors and medicines.

I believe, you also can start to believe..........

Bless you all!
