What do you think of when you hear hoofbeats, a horse probably, what about a zebra? Did you know all zebras are unique, like a fingerprint, not one zebra has the same stripes as another. 
In the same way, anyone who's a horse is normal, has normal sickness and can carry on with life. A zebra, contains all the rare people, all the rare diseases that go unnoticed because everyone thinks of a horse first.

This story is about a girl who's a zebra, she's not normal, she doesn't know it yet and no one can change who she is not even herself. Find out how she finds out, lives and enjoys her life. 

This is a tribute for the May awareness for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome! My way of raising awareness.

The Zebra

The surgeries and the lack of healing from them is a big fear especially for the upcoming surgery, the heart, I fear my life every time I have to go under anesthesia. My thoughts are broken into shattered pieces of glass as the doctor and nurse come in. They do their regular checks and I think they're done but then the doctor starts speaking, "I know your parents don't understand what you are going through, so I found this thing that people use to make people understand, its called the spoon theory."
