Darkness... This is the struggle I am faced with every day, oh hey! I didn't see you there, literally.
I am Avi Demetri and this is my story (cheesy, I know right?) but my life is far from your average life, having lost all sight has huge downfalls but a few perks. For starters atleast I have badass hearing, and taste as well as my other senses that don't require me to see what is around me. For someone who used to be afraid of the dark it's quite ironic the cards that fate had dealt me, I never CHOSE to live like this but then again.. Who in their right mind would? You know how these stories go; I was a happy young child with a head full of dreams and a heart full of spirit or something corny like that. Not me though, nope! I would have much rather playing pirates or army with the boys in the neighbourhood than being a princess with the girls in my area. But then again, you would act like that too if you were me. My dad is a soldier and before he left for war he told me to always stay strong and never cry, it was hard believe me; young children are prone to crying but I didn't want to disappoint my father. One day we received a letter in the mail and about as soon as my mother opened that letter her eyes started to well with tears, streaking her distressed and depressed face. That day was the last day I saw my father, and I clutched my mothers hand that little bit tighter as I watched him become one with the earth as he was lowered down in his coffin but at least he was in a better place now, any place is better than a war...
