BioMy name is Gabriel! I'm British/Armenian. I'm a very happy man (I think I need a nosejob but that's the least I should be worried about at the moment) but otherwise I'm happy. I was brought up by a single mother. My father passed away when my mother was pregnant with me. She was taken in by my grandparents on my father's side (they're really nice people). To her misfortune, I was born with cancer. That struck her really hard. She thought I'd die but thankfully, I'm still alive and well! It's things like this that make me aware that somewhere out there, there's a God watching very closely over us and protecting us.
Things lightened up for my mother. She got married again when she was 25 and she's been living a nice life since then.
A little more about me:
I enjoy reading quite a lot. I love all sorts of books from comic books to Philosophy. I'm into art. I play the piano! I also like to shamefully pretend that I can paint (but I can't).
I've always been told that I was going to die when I was younger. They never thought that I'd survive to be this old. Whenever I went to bed, they were all so worried that I wouldn't wake up. I, of course, at that young age, knew very little about what was going on. I just wanted to get on with my life and be like everyone else so I think that fits into it a little bit. I went through it all, from surgery and chemotherapy to impants and transplants and I'm 22 in January!
I was recently diagnosed with melanoma so the whole cycle started again! I'm not about to lose to it but I'm not going to pretend that it doesn't have any impact on my life. I mean I'm a very active person but I can't really do as much as I'd like but that's okay. That'll come back in time. I need to slow down anyway. I also had to drop out of college. I'm going back once I feel better.
I'm going to stop rambling. I just realised this isn't a journal entry..
