RE: Have Your Cake

in Reflections29 days ago

Spend quality time with friends and family. Enjoy the little things a little more.

After experiencing an almost-death experience, this really made me realize how important each moment can be. I really learned that special moments don't necessarily need to be perfect and ideal; rather, special moments can be something I do every day. That's why, for me, it's really important to enjoy everything so that I'll have no regrets in the end.

What kind of near death experience did you have? I have had a few, so it is always interesting to hear :)

Glad you are okay!

Thanks @tarazkp, so to answer your question, it was way back before I was formally diagnosed with lupus. I really thought I was going to die at that time because the number of my cells was alarmingly decreasing. My body was extremely weakened at that time, and I even reached the point where half of it became paralyzed. I'm slowly losing hope because we're really unaware of what's really happening in my body. I even got to the point that I don't want to eat anymore, but luckily my family is there to force me to eat. Fortunately, after almost a month of hospitalization, I was able to gradually regain my health. Now, although I'm not really fully healed from it because it's a chronic disease with no cure, I can manage its effects on my body with my medicines. That's why I'm really grateful and happy that I'm still alive and was given another chance to experience living.
