I was watching a podcast a few min ago when i got an urge to write, more specifically i got the urge to write about the story of a young woman that i got a chance to hear about during my speech class.
this woman was born with a rare condition that caused blood vessels to swell into a clump the size of a golf ball in her brain. she was born to an average family in japan, and she was born during a time when there wasnt much hope for her ever having a normal life. but when she was only a few months old her family came to america to get an operation done for her. they couldnt have payed for the trip let alone the treatment on their own, luckily, they were not alone. the small church this woman's family went to at the time collected ALL the money to pay for the trip and treatment. when the doctors here heard of this they were so moved they classified the procedure as experimental and did it for FREE. in the end the young woman was left with one working arm and imperfect hearing, but she outlived the expectations the doctors had originally and is now employed in japan's government, she is healthy and happy and still goes to church.
i heared about this woman a few weeks ago and something about her story was so... inspiring, and hopeful... i thought i'd share it with you.
Q: What does her story make you feel?

to b honest... i dont feel much of anything
ReplyDeletetho what i feel, idk how to explain... it's like a mild joy, and compassion, and maybe hope?... idk
irony... irony, and a sad twisted sort of humor, as bad as that may sound... i will not express everything that runs through my head regarding this story, but what i will say is that i'm pretty damn sure she doesn't take life for granted as most of the mindless flocks of brain-dead sheep we call humanity does....
