Hidden Character Treasures
I think my life with narcolepsy has ingrained permanent character traits rarely achieved by those with a normal life. I gave up driving at 23 because my cataplexy was so severe, anytime I tried to stay awake at red lights, my foot slipped off the brake. What young adult gives up so much without a disability? Poverty? I see selfish idleness all around, one example are US politics.... much to do about not much circus drama..... They have NO idea the hardships. I love how empathic I have become, how I enjoy the simple things so much more, how I experience something I cannot explain easily. I love more, tolerate excruciating physical and emotional pain, but still find joy.
