ASSUME: as explained in the dictionary —  1. to take for granted or without proof; suppose; postulate; posit: to assume that everyone wants peace.  

 I thought I would post the definition of the word ASSUME. How could someone assume something because 99.9% of the time it is wrong. Why? Because assume means take for granted, speculate assuming that everyone walks around this earth happy.

After listening to a few people comment about how I am as a person as led me to write this blog today. A lot of people assume that I am a very angry person based on my facial expressions. I find that odd as they have no clue to what I go through every day. It is so strange to me that people automatically assume that there is something wrong when in fact I am struggling every single day to NOT think of the pain that I go through on a daily basis. The assumptions get old. How does one get through that? I often wonder if there is something that I could do to make people understand. I realized over the weekend – no there is nothing I cannot do. If people want to assume let them. It’s amazing that they have all the time in the world to worry about what is going on with me. Actually I feel flattered in a way, that they are thinking of me all the time.

People who have been diagnosed with MS have different symptoms. There are some who do not have any symptoms and there are some who have all kinds of symptoms. What should really matter to most is that we are fine, we are alive, we are well. Not all the other stuff that is automatically assumed. Now I am peeved! Why do I have to explain everything. I owe nothing to anyone. However I would be happy to to explain the symptoms of what MS is and then maybe people can shut up about me. Should I ? Shouldn’t I? I am leaning more towards NOT.

At on this brief explaination, I leave all of you wondering today, gee wonder if she is mad today?
