ichi rottoru no namida

1 litre of tears...

A fiction story based on a true to life story of a 15 year-old Japanese girl who was chosen to suffer from a disease called 'SPINOCEREBELLAR DEGENERATION'.
I just finished watching it a while ago.
It has 11 episodes and it took me less than 24 hours to finish it all.

The disease will cause you to lose control in your physical body because it is directly affecting the cerebellum which is responsible for the integration of sensory perception, coordination and motor control. If you have this disease, you will have difficulty in, walking, writng, speaking and eating. The progression of this disease varies from every individual that has it. As for the main lead in the series 1 litre of tears... the disease has a very fast progression. She is a very cheerful, optimistic and nice person that's why everyone was sad as she suffered in the last journey of her life. Many have asked... why her? why this disease? But up until now, no one could answer it.

As I watched the drama, there's no episode that failed to lead me crying my heart out. All the characters in the story has a pitiful story (not to mention, the actors/actresses are great). It will definitely move you to tears because it succeeded on me who seldom cries.

I also realized, I should be happy that I'm normal. I should be happy that I can still do the things normal people can. I should be happy because I can still write, walk, speak and eat.But many questions came up... why wasn't it me? why wasn't I the one chosen to have that disease? why am I alive until now? What's my purpose here?

Now, I definitely won't waste time (especially because I already know that not all people are given the chance to live the life they wanted to have). I will say what I want to say, I will do what I need to do and I will tell the people I love that I love them so and they will never be erased in my heart because I don't know what will happen in the future... maybe I'll also have an incurable disease.. or die from an accident or anything of that sort... I just don't want to regret in the end.

I LOVE YOU ALL !
