Patience (ePub)

Patience is a book written about a young girl at the age of nineteen who suffered from a medical condition known as pseudoseizures for seven years. She met her mom for the first time, and it brought all these different emotions and traumatizing events into her life she never expected. Along the way, she was troubled, trying to find herself in the world, not knowing how to cope with certain things, and not understanding the importance of relationships because of how devastating her past turned out to be. She was left alone to figure it all out. The people that she engaged with on her journey made it more difficult for her to open up to anyone. She made numerous mistakes along the way but didn't look at it as a bad thing. She always found a safe place to relinquish all those thoughts. The biggest challenge of them all was her seizure condition. Life unexpectedly took a huge toll. She felt she didn't have a normal life anymore, in and out of doctors' hospitals with no answers at all. She was trying to make a living, but the sickness would always get in the way with no one to turn to whatsoever. Even though people may have seemed to be there, it didn't feel like it. There were days when she thought she was moving forward, only to take ten steps backward. Maybe not everyone will understand what it's like to be in a certain position and your back is heavily against the wall. No matter the circumstances, she made a way. She started to see life in a whole 'nother light. She began using those events, relationships, pain, hurt, and confusion to inspire people. Don't let anything stand in your way. She encouraged others that there's more to life. No matter what you have gone through or may still be going through, the ending will always look more promising.
