As my vision began to clear, a fountain of hope sprang within me, suggesting that many more things would improve. Seeing the world open up so clearly lightened the burden that had weighed on my heart. “Yes, that’s right. I, too, will now be filled with better things. God will fill me with better things.” These positive thoughts swelled within me. Previously, even while praying, I was plagued by ceaseless doubt and anxiety: “Will this really work out?” “Is it truly going to happen?” “Am I praying correctly?” These were irrational thoughts, but at the time, even such doubts gnawed at my heart. But now that my eyesight has improved, my conviction in prayer has grown stronger, and my mind feels much more at ease. My mom and mother-in-law helped me greatly, allowing me to go to the prayer retreat with them, which was a huge source of strength. The pastor also put in a lot of effort for me, which was truly wonderful. Their unwavering support and love instilled new strength in me.
I wanted to become a better person. I wanted to purify my heart and wash away the sins within it. A fierce determination to do better surged within me. Though the frustration of my body not fully cooperating remained, positive thoughts about “how can I make things better” were constant. The desire to find solutions outweighed the frustration.
But most of all, thanks to my improved eyesight, I felt truly peaceful and happy. “Ah, since my eyes have gotten so much better, my aphasia will definitely improve too!” I was so excited by this vague expectation. Indeed, my thoughts simply flowed in a positive direction. There was no room for other complex or negative thoughts. Only short expressions like “Thank you,” “I’m grateful” came out. For that moment, I forgot all my difficulties and was immersed in pure joy. It felt like being reborn.
Every morning when I opened my eyes, the world looked incredibly beautiful, and every scene appeared astonishingly clean and clear. Just opening my eyes was a delight. I had lived without even knowing that my vision had been poor all this time. I hadn’t truly grasped how severely injured I was. I didn’t know my eyesight was bad, and I simply dismissed my inability to speak, thinking, “It’ll just be for a while.” I had deceived myself, thinking, “This is just how it is,” “This is what happened,” “I thought I was born this way.” Only now do I finally realize that all of it was due to severe damage to my body. But now, my vision has changed. It’s so good. I’m so happy. This clear world has given me new hope.
This joy was not merely a temporary emotion. The clearer my vision became, the more I wanted to see, feel, and learn. Although words still wouldn’t come out, and the complex thoughts in my mind were as tangled as a skein of yarn, I now felt the courage to overcome all those difficulties. The very fact that I could fully see the world with my eyes became an enormous motivation for me. Rather than sadness over “Why can’t I express this beautiful world fully in words?”, a stronger positive resolve grew: “Someday, I will be able to express this beauty in words.”
Previously, I hadn’t even properly recognized how seriously injured I was. I didn’t know my vision was poor, and I just dismissed my inability to speak, thinking, “It’ll just be for a while.” But now, as I gradually face reality, I realize the depth of the pain I’m experiencing. My improved vision is clearly a miracle, and this miracle has given me the belief that I can overcome everything. I am still battling with language every day, and searching for lost memories. The rehabilitation process is endlessly repetitive, and even small progress requires great effort, but I will not give up now.
In this journey of recovery where hope and joy dominate my heart, I strive to move forward one step at a time with a positive mindset today. I don’t know when this battle will end, but since I survived, I have no choice but to fight. The hope gained from clear vision has become the greatest gift of my life and the driving force to overcome all difficulties. I will simply endure each day, be grateful for even the smallest changes, and move towards a better tomorrow.
