As I was lying in bed yesterday, thousands of thoughts ran in my head. Exciting things are happening. In the course of this year, I took one small step at a time. I have spent years in isolation from the diabetic world, as I did not know many diabetics. Hidden from the scary stories that I was told at the very start. So I chose carefully what I was reading. And now, realizing that I’m all over that. Just like Jamie Cullum sings. There are other stories to share. If you are a diabetic without diabetics around, you are sort of an alien dropped here to Earth from as far as Mars. Because there is so much that just can’t be explained. It must be experienced. As I was lying in bed, I took my phone and wrote down the short poem below. Denial is wrong. Acceptance is key.
Sooner or later, we all just wish to be understood.
I’m observing. More and more. I’m reading. More and more. I’m becoming part of this community. More and more.
Like the shadow of Marilyn Monroe.
I’m me. More and more.
The more I tried to hide, the more I lost myself.
The more I tried to lie, the more I just lied to myself.
And now, fully realizing and accepting my fate. I’m becoming me.
Me.
More and more.
