Was that a seizure?
It didn't feel like it was for leisure.
Was it just an aura?
I think I saw the box of Pandora.
Was it a stomach ache?
I just want a break.
Was that a damn earthquake?
I mean, they make Earth shake.

I know this wasn't great but I was focusing on trying to sound funny.

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection
When you stop trying to please others and cease striving for perfection, your light returns. We often believe that women become unhappy because they are not pretty enough, not perfect enough, or not hardworking enough. But what truly exhausts women isn't these things. It’s trying too hard in life.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

My brother had seizures. It stopped when he was treated in the hospital for it. He had to stay there for week. He was lucky to have great doctors. He used to get it a lot when he was in elementary. He had a bad episode where he was fuming in the mouth that’s how he got sent to the hospital to be treated.
