dementia.

its a scary thing to see someone deteriorate. earlier this week i visited my auntie who has been diagnosed with dementia. its so crazy to see her this way. i would never have expected her to become like this. it hurts actually. how she started losing herself. she cant really take care of herself. she stays at home with no one really. her daughter brings her to her appointments and tries to spend time with her when shes not at work or whatnot. its just sad. it makes me think about life and how precious it is and how i need to be more aware of myself and my actions. i really dont know how she lost herself. she has trouble getting out of a chair, repeats everything like five times and walks unbalanced at times. it makes me think twice about the simple things our brain helps us do. the funny thing is that she knows how to hula hoop and shes hella good at it. the sad thing though is that she keeps falling cause she sometimes rushes or gets too unbalanced. she will get better... i know it. she just needs more interaction and people in her life. cause right now shes alone. she needs people to help her get through this. so, when my mom goes and visits i will too.

life is short. let's embrace it and make change when we can.
