my challenges

i am unwell .. sick , and i hate it but the best part is i get to recover during the weekend ... yesterday ... now this is not about me being sick at all . this was the conversation that i had with my dad .. good old dad.....

we were on our way to the clinic and suddenly , he turns around and tells me that after all these years , he has treated me differently from my sister ...


i was not surprised . to those of you out there who knows me will understand and i hope that to those of you who are close to me , please try to understand it too...
i asked my dad why and he told me that the challenges that i faced were so different from what my sister faced and yes each and everyone of us faced different challenges in life ... true to my word , true to what he said ... i still did not follow .. he said that i never took any short cuts in life and whatever mess that i got myself into , i'd find a way out and for that my parents were surprised ....


as to why i still did not follow as to what my dad was saying , he told me that since i was born with scars on half of my face , he and my mum got worried as to .. would i be excepted in society ? would i blend in ? would i have friends ?

over the years , as i grew into an adult .. i have come a long way ..i have accepted challenges in many forms and i accepted them because i knew that i could face them .. along the way it has dawn in my mind that, what if i could not do it ? i got scared too but my parents pushed on and on gently and positively ...


it was hard at first because there were just too many things going on in my mind but somehow i managed along the way .. i overcame whatever was in way ..to tell you the truth , as i look back in life , i just don't know how i got this far .


i am still plodding along but it's not as hard as when i first started out .. there are still many more stuff that i'd like to do and achieve ... plodding along and with more baby steps i'll get there, but it my own time .
