It's okay if you fall. You can just get up again. Why don't you look up at the sky, while you're down there? The blue sky spreads across above you. Can you see it smiling at you? You are alive.
I’m alive.

I want to be like the air. The good-hearted person whose kindness overflows and people realize how important she was to them, once she is gone. I want to be that type of person.


During the Star Festival, I wrote “I want to be a normal girl”, and my sister got mad at me and asked me, “What makes you so different from a normal girl?”.
I wanted to fight back saying, “What’s so wrong about writing the truth?”.
I realized that it’s very difficult to admit that you are handicapped, even though you know that you are.
