What is the most important message you hope people take away from your story

um that i want to say that part in in my poem where i said you don't need to have it all to

give it all you've got i love that part i actually wanted to make a note of that part

that is something that i really believe wholeheartedly like because you know

there's people without arms without legs there's people who are full blind who you know live an

abundant life and so that also is proof you don't need to have every part of your body and those you

know and that also makes you beautiful you know the fact that you can have that confidence to

and not saying that it's not difficult at times because it is it's frustrating you know but to

wake up and keep going says a lot so i would say that message you don't need to have it all to give

it all you got and that why i said one is truly enough when i say i would not change a thing and i know i i think i said that more than once but I really wouldn because someone asked me how would I feel if I were to get my other eye back I don think I

would want it back why because I don't think I would be me like I I wouldn't I wouldn't

And just the things that I've done and like how it's kind of given me strength that I didn't know I had and how it's made me want to not necessarily prove myself, but just kind of show that this is possible

and honestly if I woke up one day and my vision came back in this eye my first thought would be

what in the world is going on because um I'd be like is this a trick and I that because this is so

like this is my normal yeah you know I think I think hearing that you wouldn't trade who

like trade your situation because it made you who you are tells me that you like who you are

You turned into a person that you yourself like and admire and appreciate. So you don't want to

change that. And I think that's really, that's really beautiful
