If you have some sort of 'illness' you might be able to relate to this post, if not you still might be able to relate in some
other way.

This braclet does not define me, why is it all you can see? I try my hardest to let it blend into me, it's a part of me and I can't
just forget about it, I don't expect you to forget about it either. Everytime you look at me, I know what you are looking at, that
stupid bracelt. You used to look me in the eye, even if I didn't, but now you just look at that braclet, almost with a look of
compassion mixed with fear. With an act of couriosity and suttulty, you ask my about the braclet, again. Soon, you become afraid
and cautious for me. Why wasn't I invited to the party? Oh, there were flashing lights, you thought it could effect me, because of 
this braclet. I don't feel comfortable sleeping over anymore, just incase, or I thought you would like it since I moved all sharp
objects, just in case. Why must I just be my braclet? Why can't I just be seen as myself again? I never thought that this braclet
would mean more to you then it does to me...

On June 14th, 2009 I was diagnosed with Epilepsy. On June 21st, I recieved my medical alert braclet, made to blend in and not stick 
out. While to some this braclet is just a piece of jewlery, it's just a reminder to me and everyone else that I'm a little bit 
different, or to some people that I'm sick. I understand it from my friends point of views, I take a lot of pills, I go to
Childrens Hospital once a week or more and I sometimes get a seizure. I didn't realize at first that I wouldn't be the one who had to 

deal with this, it seems to effect the people around me more. I just hope that some day soon, people begin to see past the glow of my braclet...to see me again.
