Dear storytellers,
I’m back.
You probably don’t remember me, but I spent a wonderful time sharing my stories with the Inkwell and other communities on Hive.
It’s been over a year since I posted my last story.
I was undergoing a health issue called Keratoconus, which is a condition where the round shape of the cornea becomes thin and develops a conical shape, causing a high distortion of the vision.
At that time, I was preparing for a cornea transplant but due to the pandemic, surgery was postponed for several months. After my work leave was over, I had to quit my job as I was not able to be in front of the computer for more than a couple hours.
I felt helpless and powerless. And then depression came along, for a while…
But thankfully, with the help of my family and friends I was able to move forward and look for other solutions.
You know how they say “let go and let God?", well I did.
I let go of the anxiety and expectations. I trusted God, and believed that I was going to get the best results. And it turned out that not having the surgery was the best thing that could happen. I found a specialist in the matter who believed that surgery would have been counterproductive, and offered me a pair of contact lenses equipped with a new technology.
Now I’m back to my daily life, to work, and to the things I like the most.
One of them, writing.
I will now share a micro story in honor of the Inkwell celebration of the month, the St. Patrick's Day.
I hope you bear with me as I’m a little rusty.
