Cure SMA Video Contest

November 24, 2018

Hello there my wonderful followers! I have some interesting news to share with all of you.

Cure SMA is holding a video contest where either the caregiver or person with SMA was to create a 3 minute video describing what it’s like living with SMA. My grandmother has been pushing me to do this contest, so here it is! Finally finished!!! Click this link https://youtu.be/ZPBRmn0sIbU to view it.

I apologize that there isn’t more information in the video, but one can only fit so much in a 3 minute video… The information shared in this video is my every day reality. I do appreciate each and every one of you that reads my blog and interacts with me on social media, however this video is my truth at this specific moment in time. Maybe that will change due to this video, and I hope it does. There have been quite a few people that have been my friend at one moment or other, and I am eternally grateful for everyone who has been in my life, even if they didn’t stay very long.

I just want everyone to know that I did not make this video to belittle anyone or so that people would pity me. This is what happened during my years at school, I wish it hadn’t happened that way, but it did. There were good memories, but the brain tends to remember bad memories in high definition compared to good memories.

Doing this project was one of the most difficult tasks I have ever had to complete. Reliving my years at school instead of trying to suppress them was not my idea of a good time. Even writing this entry to my blog is giving me the same emotions that I experienced whilst doing this project.

Anyway, to totally shift from my self pity party, I’m not usually one to beg for views and stuff like that, but please! Comment! Like! Share! The video that is the most popular is the video that wins the contest. Even if a bit of the video is sad, the rest of it, I think, exhibits well-being and amenity.

It would mean the world to me if you passed on my video to teach others that, yes being disabled is difficult, but it isn’t the worst thing to ever happen to someone.

Thank you in advance!!
