I Know My Life Will Never Be Like Others and It’s O K A Y

So blake just had a baseball game and it really got me thinking about what kind of typical teenager i would have been. Like maybe i would have been a baseball player or a life guard like my pops. Or an awkward theater kid that is also in an acting class. I think about that a lot. What i might have been like if i were normal but i am not. I probably would have already gone on a date or have a girlfriend and take her to the movies. I am kind of jealous of blake in this way because ill never be a normal teen that tries to act like the center of the universe and flirt with other normal girls but what can you do. I know if blake were here he would say i can do those things if i try hard enough but its never going to be the same and ive known that for a while now. I can work super hard but ill never have that life and its ok. I know there are limits and i am being realistic about my life. I will still try my best always though. Ive been sick of people giving false hope. I know my life will never be like others and it is O K A Y. I will enjoy it in my own way.

Luca you are not normal, you are extraordinary because you are created and loved by God. He is the same God that created and loves the entire universe. Take time and heart to know Him and your world will open up the endless possibilities.

Once a wise old botany teacher was speaking to a group of young and eager students. He gave them an assignment to go out by the side of some lonely road and find a small, unnoticed flower. He asked them to study the flower for a long time. "Get a magnifying glass and study the delicate veins in the leaves, and notice the nuances and shades of color. Turn the leaf slowly and observe its symmetry. And remember: this flower might have gone unnoticed and unappreciated if you had not found and admired it," he told his students.

When the class returned after carrying out the assignment, the wise old teacher observed: "People are just like that unnoticed flower, too. Each one is different, carefully crafted, uniquely endowed. But you have to spend time with a person to realize this. So many people go unnoticed and unappreciated because no one has ever taken time with them and admired their uniqueness."

Keep heart Luca, “stay involved in life emotionally and spiritually, continue caring, come what may; participate fully in life with your hands, head, and especially with the heart of you.

Luca! If you were living through an avatar what would it’s characteristics be? Would you be a baseball playing avatar?

I hear ya, Luca. It’s not easy watching others go through life, with what seems like very little effort to achieve so many things. No matter what someone’s life looks like on the outside, each person has their own pains, insecurities, and feelings of self-doubt. I’m thankful that you have this outlet to share your thoughts and feelings with us. Your confidence in who you are is incredible! Think about it: humans are as unique and different as there are pieces of fruit! A peach is no more beautiful and special than a cherry, or watermelon, or grapefruit! Celebrate your uniqueness and celebrate those who are just as unique as you! You’re such an inspiration to me and others! Sending you a big hug!!

You really are a superhero! You are my superhero! My son is 7 and he is autistic. I know he knows way more than we know but he has trouble expressing it. I used to think about the fact that he will never have a “normal” life and worry, but I know he will be just like you and enjoy life as it is for him because this is his “normal”. Keep writing! Keep pushing. “Normal” is overrated. I would rather have an exceptional son. The way he, and you, see the world is a gift. It is a precious gift to me to look at the world through his eyes and see what really matters!

You, Luka I have only met once. You were quite young. But we share Amy! That’s how I know how you are and what your up to.
You are definitely one mighty human, with a superhero attitude. No sugar coating, just realistic. Not poor me, just positive real attitude!
My daughter is a lot like you.
Her attitude is “a gift of suffering” and it sounds you see it as the same.
You are a true blessing. Thank you for sharing your heart
