Who Am I?

That question may take a lifetime to figure out but I know one thing for sure, I am not ataxia.  Just because I have this condition and it's easy to identify me by associating me with ataxia, does not mean it defines me as a person.  There is so much more to me than just ataxia, but you'll never know that if you judge me negatively based on my appearance.  I'm not saying all people are like that.  In fact, most aren't.  But there are people out there who are superficial that way.  Everybody has a choice, and I feel sorry for the ones who choose to remain superficial.  Not just superficial, but ignorant as well.  I just don't even deal with people like that.  It's a waste of time, and life is too short to waste time.  I am a fantastic girl, and the people who can see that are the ones I want to surround myself with and get to know also.  Like the age-old saying goes, and believe me IT'S SO IMPORTANT, "don't judge a book by it's cover."  If you do, you'll never know what great things you are missing in your life.
