To start with, everyone can call me Grey. I'm a twenty-three-year-old guy who is now working as an aquacultural techmologist. I have a Biology degree. I know everyone will be asking Are you gonna pursue medicine? Unfortunately, no. I want to be a doctor; however, just last April 2017, I was diagnosed with an end stage renal disease. In other words, my kidneys have failed. I'm undergoing dialysis twice a week. And we're planning to undergo kidney transplant early next year (or until we have the money that wen need). My donor would be my brother. Hopefully, everything would go the way we plan it. Anyway, I'm here on steemit because I love writing and I wanna do something new in my life. I'm a bit confused still with steemit world. hahahaha

Hi Gray, it’s nice to meet you. I’m so sorry to hear about everything you are going through. I am glad you have found Steemit to be a good creative outlet for your writing. Let me know if you ever have questions and I’ll do m6 best to help.
Thank you so much. I appreciate all the love, guys. I've been here on steemit since January; but I just made my first (introductory) post last week. Everything was so confusing but I'm learning little by little. So far, I'm doing good. Thank you so much (Is it weird that I'm smiling from ear to ear right now because the author of the post I've commented noticed me? (such a noob me))
Hi Grey! I hope you are doing well and I’m sorry to hear about the disease. Where are you in the Philippines? I’m pinoy too! I’ve been in steemit for around 16 days and still a bit confused but I know we’ll get through this! I’ll pray for happiness and successful recovery to your dialysis. We have lovely steemit communities here in our country that you can also follow and join :)
I’ll follow you and follow me too!
Tacloban City, Leyte. Wow. I thought there are few Filipinos here. But on my almost a month on steemit (I've been here since last month but I "really" started yesterday, when I had made my first post. Check it out hahaha. Well, I did not expect myself to master steemit in just a week. I'm here to have fun and LEARN anyway. Thank you so much
I’ll check it! Yes, there’s a lot of Filipino community here! Just check #steemph and #philippines ;) You’re right! Let’s have fun and enjoy in this platform. Followed you :)
Oh. Thank you so much. Let's just keep on steeming. By the way, where are you in the philippines?
True! Let's keep on steeming and explore! I'm from Cagayan de Oro.
@grey am really sorry for everything you are going through...i pray for quick recovering for you... always remember you still have us with you (steemit family) never feel you are alone and everything will worked well.
Thank you so much. However, contrary to what people think, I've already accepted this disease. This disease has transformed me to be a better individual. I'm done stressing myself out. I'm done being depressed. I can't change the past, right? But I can use my past to be a better person in the present and future. Indeed, everything happens for a reason. I just think that I'm still blessed. I should have been dead if I haven't undergone dialysis nine months ago; but im still breathing and is enjoying life. Im even on steemit, if you inow what i mean.
yeah.... everything happen for a reason...GOD knows why you have to go through all this.... stay calm bro...we are all one
Thanks bro. We have to stay strong.....always
Hey, Grey, it seems that you'll be needing lots of rest. That means you've got plenty of time for Steemit. Stay positive & connected. Take care, bro.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the love and care. Actually, being a dialysis patient, I'm already labeled as a person with disability. However, thank God, I still have the strength to work. Check out my introductory post
