Our Illness Does Not Define Us

Life is what you make it and I'm determined to make mine the best it can be.  I can sit around here and cry and feel sorry for myself because I'm sick or I can get out there and make something of myself despite being sick.  I'm tired of being depressed and feeling like I have to depend on others all the time because the bottom line is the only person who's going to take care of me is me.  So to all of my friends who are sick too...lets show the world what we're made of.  Our illnesses don't define who we are and although they do make our lives more challenging we're strong enough to handle it.

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!
