A tiny speck of dirt, that’s what Olivia Nell calls it in her letter. She acknowledges its presence but dismisses its power.
“Dear Epilepsy,” she writes. “You put my emotions on a terrifying roller coaster that never ended. You made me sad, angry, and scared, and honestly I had no clue what do with you. I will stand up for myself, and I won’t let you take over my life. You are not me, and I am not you. To me, you are a tiny speck of dirt in the whole universe. Seriously, you are nothing.”
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
