My before and after photos:

Every day I’m scared of being found laying somewhere and discovering I’m injured way more than I anticipated. Thankfully, my daily medication controls it, and I’ve lived on for over nine years without seizures; but I never know when the next episode would be.

My medication slows me down, and I find myself in naps frequently. I work remotely from home so that I have plenty time to rest without in-office stress.

I used to be a swimmer in my youth, but I am not allowed to go out to pools in fear I would drown. That is how severe it has become.

Let me get straight to the point. There was this Christmas Pokemon Pop up thing going on in that Jamsil Lotte Mall in Seoul. I waited in that long line of people IN South Korea for that Christmas Pikachu. Once I finally made it in, guess what-no Pikachu. I swear, there’s always that one dude who hoards everything so he can sell them for a hundred something bucks each on ebay or whatever other platform they have here. One of these only went for around thirty something bucks in this pop up.

So I go online to look for one and guess what-each one is already over a hundred and twenty bucks. I can’t even collect Pokemon goods anymore because scalpers raise the prices so ridiculously high. This is the only Pikachu I do not have in my holiday collection and I have to wait long for it to go down. 😅😅😅
