It’s fascinating how our aspirations and passions evolve over time, isn’t it? While I may not recall what I wanted to be at the tender age of five, my later interests and passions certainly shed light on my creative spirit and visual inclination.

It’s clear that from a young age, I were drawn to the arts – whether it was through dancing classes, music, or my love for photography. These creative outlets allowed me to express myself and explore the world around me in unique ways. However, life sometimes has unexpected twists and turns, and my journey took a different path due to my epilepsy.

While it may have been disheartening to veer away from my initial creative aspirations, Perhaps my experiences with epilepsy instilled resilience and a willingness to explore alternative paths. Despite the challenges I have faced, I have found a different direction and pursued it with determination and courage.

Although my journey may have taken unexpected turns, my passion for creativity and visual expression never waned. I have started photography again and kept that creative side in me.

As I continue on my journey, remember that creativity knows no bounds. Whether it’s through photography, dancing, or any other form of artistic expression, never hesitate to follow my passion and embrace the beauty of creativity in all its forms. So anyone out there who has epilepsy or any other obstacle in front of them who may think I can’t do this. Don’t give up on your dream your aspirations. My advice would be go for it even if you have a condition. It may take longer but you will get there.

I wish when I was In my teens I listened to myself and never doubted myself and gone for what I believed in and gone for that creativity in me. In our lives what we go through makes us who we are today. Trust your instincts and believe in yourself, anything is possible.
