Why is it just when I really start to gain confidence about where my life is going, my health sets me back ten paces?
This year has been chock full of medical issues that are really starting to take a toll on me. I can honestly say that I'm scared. The lactose intolerance and IBS are nothing but it's the hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Disease that makes me on edge. It seems that every time my body gets sick it's some kind of autoimmune disease, and that is terrifying to me. I'm trying to be brave and strong but it's hard to be when it feels like my body is betraying me. After everything I've had to go through the past few years I thought my quota for illnesses had been filled. I suppose I was wrong. It'll be okay though, I keep telling myself. Just another couple of blood tests and another prescription pill to take. I just hate knowing that I'm only 19 and already have three permanent pills to pop.
In other news, I'm in the process of getting an agent. There are a few good ones that are interested in me so now it's just a matter of finding the right fit. It's funny how life takes you for a whirl wind. You never know where you're going to end up. Which reminds me: Lauren and I found ourselves on a website entitled, "How to tell if BestFriendsForever is your favorite band". Our infamous youtube video is listed as number 2. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I don't know how those people came across our video, but I find it hilarious that they actually saw us fit for their site.
