When that moment happened, and again I don’t know when it happened, but when that moment in my head just clicked and I stopped being, or stopped putting myself in the position of the person who has dystonia I started becoming a person that is living with it and it was at that moment that almost the fears of the future stopped– I guess, everyone has fears, I have a fear of falling out of a plane, I have a fear of falling off of a building.
I don’t fear my disease, because I am taking control of it through my running through coming here and talking to you guys, it’s just who I’ve become. I wasn’t always this fearless when it came to unexpected occurrences in life, I still to this day don’t like change and when change happens I have to take a moment to actually think about it before I can actually respond to it but yeah I have to say, I can honestly say that I don’t really fear it because I am it.
