Tourette and Life experience

In this post, I would like to talk about the Tourette and my process of puberty with the Tourette. A process that also deals with the acceptance of the Tourette. As I wrote in my previous posts, all my life I have been in a state of war with the Tourette and the acceptance of the fact that I have Tourette that affects my life. But, as I am getting older, I also believe that I am getting more experienced and wiser in my dealing and living with the Tourette. I must admit that I am in the final stages of the process and have come to accept the Tourette and the fact that I need to live with it and not fight it. This insight didn’t come easily to me and it took me long years of struggle, and the writing this blog has helped a lot. By writing the blog I had to face and look the Tourette in the eye, and it made all of the feeling and emotion come out, which I had to deal with. I must admit that the writing has relaxed my soul and I am so happy to have this blog. This blog has helped the process of acceptance of the Tourette come to fruition and reach a situation where there is internal peace between the Tourette and me. I feel now that the Tourette is less than an enemy and more a thing that I need to live with. I feel that I am a different man than I was a few years ago, in the sense that I am more complete and more aware of myself and the Tourette. As my mother has told me a number of times:  everyone has something that he needs to live with and I have come to see that she is right. I must admit that there is a sentence that I relate to which is: “I have Tourette, but Tourette doesn’t have me”. I try every day to live according to this sentence and I am sure that I am in a place where I live according to it. In conclusion, I will always have this mishap where the Tourette will raise its head but I am confident in myself, and I know that I am strong enough to get through these mishaps and look on the bright side. I have learned to accept that it’s a part of me and that I need to live with it and not fight it. I must admit that writing this blog also helps with this process of acceptance and I am a more complete and stronger man than I was a few years ago.
