#PurpleForEpilepsy

[seizehopesworld]

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. As someone living with epilepsy, I know the challenges—but also the strength and resilience in community. Let’s fight stigma and raise awareness together.

Purple Day is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. It was founded in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a young Canadian girl who has epilepsy herself, with the aim of encouraging people to learn more about the condition and to support those living with it.

On Purple Day, which falls on March 26th each year, people worldwide wear purple clothing and accessories as a sign of solidarity with those affected by epilepsy. Buildings and landmarks may also be lit up in purple to raise awareness.

The color purple was chosen because it represents both the sadness often associated with epilepsy, as well as the hope for a brighter future through increased awareness, understanding, and support for individuals with epilepsy.

During Purple Day, various events and activities take place globally, including educational seminars, fundraising events, social media campaigns, and community outreach efforts.

ELECTRICITY

Not long ago, I had a nightmare. I was walking with my dad and my sister in a long isle. A dark isle, to be precise. And when I saw a tiny light at the end, it suddenly became a cinema. Backstage lighting, movie posters, people coming, people going. My dad and sister went away. Noise. Noise everywhere. 

Suddenly, I fall. I’m having a seizure. I have my eyes opened, I see how I’m dying. I see my late mother at the other side of the room. Waiting for me. 

My body is struggling to live. Everyone is seeing, no one knows what to do. 

Lights everyehere. I’m dead.

@007_tattoo did an amazing job with my side piece. We still have minor spots to complete, but over all it's practically done and it looks beautiful. 💜✔️💉 #timehealseverything #tattoos #sidepiece #purpleforepilepsy
