Today we watched a music video called "I Lived" by the band One Republic. The lyrics have a very deep meaning behind them. There is one that says "Hope when the moment come you'll say... I did it all" that means to me, make every day of your life worth living. Don't just sit at home and watch television, go outside and bike, run, anything just something. The music video is centered around a fifteen year old boy named Bryan and he has cystic fibrosis disease.
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that affects your lungs and digestive system. Mainly the lungs though. What it does is it has mucus in your lungs, we have mucus in our lungs as well but our is more water and people with cystic fibrosis have mucus that is more thick and syrupy. I know that sounds kind of gross but this disease and many others are serious. People have not found a cure for cystic fibrosis which is extremely unfortunate, but I hope that they find one so they can help save lives. Cystic fibrosis is not a disease that you can catch from somebody, you are born with it. Also how it affects your lungs is that it makes it extremely hard to breathe and in the video you'll see that Bryan is struggling to breathe when he is in the hospital bed.
In the video Bryan says that his worst fear is to not be able to do the things that he wants to do an to accomplish his life goals. Cystic fibrosis is most common in white people of Northern European ancestry, but also occurs in Hispanics, African-Americans and some Native Americans. It is rare in people of Asian and Middle Eastern origin. Doctors say that people with cystic fibrosis will only live up to around 35-36. Hopefully they find a cure to help expand that time.
