Everything have changed since I wrote in this blog. It's strange how two years can change someone so much. As I read my past blogs, I realized how I've changed my perspectives on life. There is much more to life than relationships, music, self-pity, and everything else that I've mentioned here. It's funny how every time I came across a life-changing moment in my life, I rediscovered this blog. It's also funny how I rediscovered my true, inner-self at strange times.

It's also funny how a recent graduate of pre-med student did not know what 'Lupus' is. I was diagnosed by this disease about 4 months ago, in which changed my life forever. I felt the most excruciating pain but on the other hand, very grateful. I realized that most people are not aware that this disease is present at all. It changed my whole perspective on my life and my future.

I came across great trouble to be where I am today but I am exteremely grateful for what I've done and gone through. As many people said, "what does not kill you, only makes you stronger." Honestly I just recently discover the real meaning of this statement.

Don't waste your time on unnecessary things. Do not take things for granted. Each second is a gift from God. Find your true compassion in life and work hard to achieve whatever compassion you have. Although it might sound "hard" or "unobtainable" at least you've tried and the road to achieve that dream will be more satisfying than not trying at all.
