So my sister has been reading my blog and has told me that it is incredibly morbid and depressing. I would like to change that, i don't want to be too depressing about allergies.
Having friends sounds like it is just a simple task. Making and keeping friends is not so easy though, especially when you have allergies. You keep them from eating some of the foods they want to eat, because if they're around you while they eat them, you risk having a reaction. You also sometimes keep them from planning certain things because you can't eat at a certain restaurant or you can't be in a certain area where food is. Well here comes the happy part, there are some really amazing people out there. Some of my friends are the most accepting, inviting, and special people and i am so lucky to have them in my life. They don't treat me like i'm the reason that we all can't do certain things, they know that i can't control my allergies. They are so kind and are always willing to change their plans in order to keep me safe. They are the best friends i could ever ask for.
My best friend has been with me since we were 4. We have been the best of friends since we met in preschool fighting over a toy. She is the best friend i have ever had and could ever hope to have. She is always there for me and is so laid-back about my allergies. She's careful, but doesn't treat me like a charity case that could die at any moment.
I love my friends and I wouldn't survive without them, they've helped me through all of my difficult times and keep me sane. Even though some people can be jerks and call you "allergy girl," you have to be patient to meet those special people who will be with you through anything and everything.
I have been lucky enough to meet and be friends with some of these people in the world and i don't know what i would do without them. I love them with all of my heart and i could never thank them enough for what they do. They are all amazing.
I would love to hear stories from others about their friends and lives with food allergies, so please comment and share your stories!
