The Time I became friends with someone who also has Hydrocephalus
This is post is more than just a post, it's more of a story on how I got to be friends with someone who goes through the same thing I do. It's about how we have Hydrocephalus. It's about many things but here is how it all began. I was just looking on my phone and then I went to see my video on YouTube, that I did for my senior project. I saw there was a new comment, from someone who had mentioned how they understood what I had gone through, how they know what it's like and all the similarities that they had mentioned. I didn't know who it was at the time, but from when I read their comment it felt like I was reading a little bit of their story, and to see that comment again, it was like I was reading a little bit of what I still go through because I couldn't believe how much I had in common with a person I didn't even know. They too have hydrocephalus, just like me. Which for me to say that, is a good thing because I would have never thought I would find someone from the comments from my video, that would be similar, but understand and know what I went through. It didn't stop there. That same day, I had reached out to Hydrocephalus Association, and asked for some help. I wanted to know who this person was, so I could reach out to them, and thank them as well. Little did I know that after I added them on Messenger that they would add me back. I had no idea, that we would even continue to talk and continue to learn more about each other that day. I had no idea that they would add me as a friend on Facebook that same day as well. Some of the similarities my friend and I go through are how we have trouble when things are explained to us, because we may not always get or understand what is explained to us. It's like I said before, when I read the comment from that person, who I am now friends with, I couldn't even begin to tell you that, it was amazing to know there was someone like me, who knew what I had gone through, and had understood what someone like me with non verbal learning disorder could go through. Those where some of the similarities I was talking about from the very beginning. Other people like my friend and I go through the same things we do, but here is what we all have in common, we all understand and we are never alone. We are never alone, because family, friends, and even people who have Hydrocephalus, all understand and will always be there for you and help you. They will also listen and talk with you, when you need somebody to talk to. I still talk with my friend that I became friends with on May 12. I'm happy to know that just by one comment, and one message to Hydrocephalus Association, could lead up to a friendship of someone who knows what it's like but to also know that we have a lot in common. Who knows, maybe one of these days we will get to meet each other. For now, we will just continue to talk like we normally do, and I'm okay with that. Well, that's all I have for now but please enjoy reading, how I got to become friends with the person who has Hydrocephalus just like me.
