picture this
i am on an internet hunt for japanese videos on YouTube
then a Jdrama caught my eye
title "A litre of Tears"
as expected its a tearjerker with many heartbreaking scenes
an hour later
i am sitting in front of my computer crying my eyes out
this drama is really heartbreaking
it is about this 15 year old girl who has Spinocerebellar Degeneration
which means her brain is constantly deteororiating
to a point where she becomes bedridden
but the cruelity of this disease is that only the physical aspects of the body are affected
her mind is still working and aware of her surroundings
i find Aya's, the female lead, will to live very touching
even though she knows of her disease,
her only desire is to live life to the fullest
i wonder if i was in her shoes,
will i be this strong to accept the truth?
can i live life happily,
and not loathe the hard passage of life that i have to walk through?
will i be able to move on,
or sit in a corner, looking dejected
giving up my hope on life?
i guess one would not know what their reaction might be unless they are in that position
i really admire people with strong character
i look up to them as inspirations of hope
generators of joy
to be able to fuifill a simple but difficult desire
is the most precious of all
oh by the way, the above is a true story.
