I was pretty angry with my family recently. The plan was to eat lunch, get our passports renewed, then return home and leave at 5pm to meet my friend after his work at 6pm. No problem, right?

So we went out in the morning at 1150am and finished lunch by 1pm, went to the passport place where my mum, sister and I took a new photo and applied for the renewal. It was crowded but we got it done by 230pm. Except for my dad, who had lost his identity card (IC) somewhere along the trip. So after backtracking and trying to look for it for a while, we accepted that it's lost for good and apply for a lost IC report and renewal, which is a longer crowd for some reason. By the time we were done and reached home, it was 530pm, which would make me pretty late. My dad offered to drive me to the nearest train station so I got there somewhat on time still.

I began getting quite annoyed with my family halfway through the trip. They were taking their time, and my dad, of all the days, had to lose his IC that day. I mean, he had only brought it out today and what were the chances? I didn't express my anger to them and only expressed it later on to my friend during dinner, when I remembered my psychologist telling me that I should be building a support network of close persons to talk my feelings to.

My friend said I shouldn't be angry with them, as it wasn't their intention to make me late. He said something to the likes of "Did you ask for your amnesia? No, right? So likewise, you shouldn't be angry with your dad since he never meant to do that, even if it was the worst day to lose an IC."

He's right, I shouldn't be angry. I should be thankful that I still met my friend on time and that nothing worse happened during the trip.

In other news, a neurologist strongly felt that my amnesia resulted from having epilepsy and recommended me that I shouldn't drive. I think I'm still in disbelief about his diagnosis, especially after 2 EEGs and an MRI having shown nothing. Still, I wouldn't know about my own diagnosis since I'm not an expert. I don't feel that sad for some reason, but I think the news is affecting me in some way still.
