It finally makes so much sense!!

Recently I made a new friend online. And as we were getting to know each other, he apologized for taking so long to type out a message. I asked him why was this. He then told me that he battles with Dyslexia. This word was new to me. I have heard of it in the past but didn't bother to look it up.

So I did some research online. It all of a sudden made so much sense. My battle with spelling and writing. Also speaking. The shoe fit so perfectly. 

So do you know what dyslexia is?

It is a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading, writing and speaking. 

Dyslexia occurs in children as well as adults with normal vision and intelligence.

Unfortunately there's no medication or cure for this disorder. But there is ways of improving the elements that are effected by it. A speech therapist or psychologist can help with this. 

I had a lot of trouble with English growing up and I still do. Even though English is my home language. In high school I dreaded English. Literature was a nightmare. I remember reading aloud in class and making so many mistakes. The class used to giggle. It was a tough time for me because I didn't know who to turn to at that time. But life goes on and even though I have these horrible memories, I have made a tremendous amount of progress. And that's what's important.

Sometimes in life we can't change every situation but we can change the way we see it.

More people need to be aware of dyslexia. Especially teachers. Because school life can be tough and even more difficult when you have a disorder that no one understands.

Don't let a mistake torture you for years on years. Make peace with it and forgive yourself. Move on. Throw that garbage(Past) out. 

Please do interact with me on the comments. I would love to hear from you. 

Love and light.
