SPEAKING FOR MYSELF...

BY ALEX GORMAN

I am definitely the luckiest person on the face of the earth. Each day we nonspeakers can easily choose to feel sorry for ourselves. But nothing really easy is ever as good, I believe. To be happy is not an easy choice, but it's one I choose to make. Easy things are what some gravitate towards...but not me. The best things in my life, and the people I love most, have either been the hardest or worked the hardest. And these things, the hardest, feel the best because they represent achievement. This blog is about being lucky, working hard, achieving goals, and being what I've decided to be: happy.

A Job

I am apparently obsessing at the moment, wishing I could have a real job. Reading all the anti-cure hatred, and feeling so angry about it, is making me think about what I would do if a miracle happened and I was cured. I am awesomely smart, and would want to use that to make the world a better place. Wondering about it though makes me upset, because I am so dependent upon others that it will never happen. I could have made a difference. Now…all wasted. I am definitely depressed at these thoughts. And then I think about all those people who want to deny me a cure, and I am filled with fury.

I am so longing to contribute to this cause, and our country, that my heart aches. Their spite is our tragedy.
