I tend to be scatterbrained sometimes due of the fact that I am a Writer. I write most things down otherwise i'll forget. If i don't write it down i'll never remember it. Being a writer is a blessing and curse.
It is a blessing because different things are researched, learned, written and published to the general population to read. I have researched quite a few things from pure curiosity and just wanting to know about different things. I have taken what I have learned and taught different people when the occasion arose. People wanted to know what I know and I told them. To further explain, many believe in the misconceptions of the world. In turn, I am able to help by telling them what I know and how wrong they are.
It can be a curse because I am always thinking of new things to write about whether it be a poem, short story or potential column. I am up late sometimes and getting up early all the time just to work on different things. It is good and bad all in one. Good in that I will eventually share the knowledge that I have gained with others. However, it is bad for health to not sleep much. Eventually the body will say "ok enough is enough" and just shut down from exhaustion.
Having Epilepsy does not help much. I have to watch how much stress I have and how much sleep I get. Often times i'll sleep 5-6 hours and be working on something the rest of the time. 5-6 hours is good enough for me because I know that I can't sleep any longer than that. I have used my experiences with Childhood Epilepsy, Diabetes (runs in my family) Deafness (a few friends and a family member) as well as a few other things to my advantage and teach others.
I know that I will succeed in teaching others what I know. In time, people will come to be less stupidly ignorant and be more informed about people being different than them.
