“So I have this eye disease.. Blind in my left, and losing vision in my right. In order to prevent my eyesight from deteriorating ihad to do this surgery. This shit is beyond painful & Life be throwin’ a nigxa curve balls but what I’ve gained from it all is priceless… A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see. we can take it for granted. Thank God the OG for allowing me to see.. The good the bad the ugly, I’m just glad to see.”
I agree with August. We must be humble and be grateful for everything we have no matter how big or small it may be because just like that, it can be taken away from us.
