It is a bit curious how someone who is so allergic can be such an adventure seeking, travel enthusiast, don’t you think? I am not sure where my passion came from exactly. I think it is due to growing up with my parents who believed in teaching me independence and responsibility.
It’s not until now that I am aware of how significant a role my allergies have played in my life, and as much as I would like to be in denial of this, I can’t. I do think about them a lot, but it is the way that I think about them, that is the key. I don’t let my allergies rule me. I don’t let them scare me. Instead I think of them as a normal part of my everyday. They are a routine. Something that does not take over my every thought or action, but that is just a part of the everyday. By viewing them in this way, I don’t focus on them. I’m sure there won’t ever be one day that my allergies don’t cross my mind. Every meal, every food involved situation I am in, they cross my mind. They don't make my decisions though, or rule my life!
