1 Litre Tears
Nope, I didn't cry 1 Litre Tears. I'm talking about a drama based on a true life story of a girl, a fine matured lady who suffered from an incurable disease, Spinocerebellar ataxia at the young age of 15. This disease a genetic disorder which slowly causes the patient to be unable to coordinate their body movement and is often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements.
Even when suffering from this disease, Aya-san still keep her fighting spirit ongoing. She kept apologising because she thought she kept troubling ppl to assist with her movement due to her disease. She said that she wanted to help others when she grow up and is upset that she can't be helpful to the society coz of her disability. Later then she know that her self-penned phrases encouraged and have helped many other patients suffering from the same disease to Live on. She died at the age of 25 years old.
After watching the drama and knowing of her story, I was thinking to myself who am i compared to her? I can walk, talk, see properly yet sometimes i wish i didn't exist in this world. So selfish of me right? From now on, I'll honour Aya-san as my life example and will follow suit to what she has said to her boyfriend (in the drama and not real boyfriend), Asou-kun before she died, "Live on, Live on forever". I'll keep my fighting spirit ongoing despite there will be times i will feel frustrated abt the things that are not going my way. I'll Gambatte and Live on.
Thank you Aya-san.
