Man up?!
The next time somebody says to me "Man up!" I just want them to take a step back and realise what they could be saying to somebody at the wrong time. It's very hard to take it as a joke when 'Manning up' is all I ever try to do when I am ill.
This picture is of me earlier last year with an unknown virus. This has happened another two times throughout 2011-2012.
I would like to wish that nobody is ever as ill as me in their lifetime as it can take over your life.
As it so happens to be, I'm very happy with my life and the way I am and couldn't wish for anything better. I dread to think I will be ill for the rest of my life, happy thoughts and fingers crossed I'm not. Yeah ok, I'm having a rant and a moan and my life isn't as bad as others. I know it isn't. I'm not pouring my heart out to everybody about this I just want to make people aware that you should be careful about what you say and think before you say it.
A friend said to me "Maybe you have AIDS" this is NOT something to joke about. I know for a fact that I haven't but maybe one day you could come across somebody who has and they may not take that as calmly as I have.
This is a pre-warning to the people out there who laugh at misfortune. Think of yourself in that persons situation and how they would feel.
How about you take a step back and think...this could have been me.
