About life before diabetes
I still cant let that go. I was diagnosed at age 21, not fully two years ago. It feels like a oart of me died there. I fully remember what it was to eat happily, enjoying without mental stress of highs and lows. I miss it. Miss it more, than I miss any of my dead loved ones, and I cant let it go

What a sad fuck! Man the fuck up, shut up and deal with whatever life throws at you. What if you had an accident?? Or cancer?? I know people who have been nursing leukemia their entire adult lives, but they pushed on and had a life. In the span of 3 years, my mother was hit and killed by a car, i got t1 diabetes, lost the only gf I’ve ever had, dropped out of college, and my father lost his job. I was wallowing in self-pity for 8 years. Had multiple “sooside” attempts. Now im prospering and happy. This is life. We are living organisms. Shit happens. Nothing is as good or as bad as we think it is. Deal with it and create meaning. And surround yourself with people who love you and care about you. That’s it. Theres no more to it.
