Chapter 12

Hello again, hope you are well. Me, I am a bit tense today.I will get over it though. I have been a lot worse. I just think I need to do a bit of weight training, that always works. I think about the past a lot. I remember my childhood and growing up. I am lucky, my mum and dad really looked after me and my sister. We lived close to countryside and myself and friends would go off for a whole day in the holidays. We used to love playing football too. I was captain of my middle school team. I then went to high school, I did ok. I tried but I think I had the beginnings of my illness even then. I then started work and I did quite well for a while. Me and my friends would go out and I continued to play football. I suddenly became very Ill. I was taken into hospital. My life was different after that. I got by, my family were very supportive. I had some good friends too, they looked after me. I met a lovely girl too. My friend said she was the nicest in the area. We used to go to the cinema every Sunday and go for meals sometimes. She met someone else at work. I was not bitter, it was time to move on. After this I focused on my training, I used to cycle, martial arts, squash and go to the gym. I also took my dog out, he loved going out. I still see my friends . I am doing ok now, thanks for reminiscing with me. I feel less tense now, being at magmh amongst friends has helped. Thanks.
