On December 27, 2005, my aunt passed away due to complications with her Type 1 Diabetes.
On January 25, 2006, I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic.
I could not help but to look at this as a death sentence.
I started thinking about all the things I could not do in my new life.
More importantly, I started thinking about all the things I did not get a chance to do.
I became depressed and hopeless.
I thought my life was over.
Then,
at some point, I decided to take control.
The first step was to express how I was feeling.
I decided to do this through my first project.
I originally wanted to make a short movie, showing the parallels between my aunt's life and my new one.
However, I decided it would be nearly impossible to make it a proper memorial to my aunt.
I also did not think it would be as effective as I wanted (I think it's difficult to make real hard-hitting drama).
So instead, I went with humor.
It's the way I most often deal with stress and anxiety.
And I think it helped to better get my point across.
Either way, it helped me deal with everything.
