Another myth I’d like to dispel about epilepsy is the myth that if you’re epileptic you can’t be successful or aren’t as bright as other people. So NOT true! Here’s a list of people who have soared despite the weight of this myth. For this weeks Music Monday I say to those that live with epilepsy defy the gravity of this myth and soar to your full potential! Happy Music Monday! xx
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!It’s time to try
Defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!I’m through accepting limits
”cause someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I’ll never know!
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost!I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down!
bring me down!
ohh ohhh ohhhh!

This is one of my all time favorite songs. I love Wicked. Elphaba is my hero and anyone who lives with epilepsy. When Kurt and Rachel sang it on Glee, I teared up and got goosebumps. Did you see when Idina Menzel sang it live at the Tonys? Amazing. I posted it here.
