Just ran into an unplesant situation today, which led me to write this because, I got reminded of Dr. Martin Luther King. I am not good at poetic english, but these are my sincere thoughts really.
I have a dream
That my young daughter will one day live completely free of Vitiligo. No one will “stare” at her Vitiligo, but will stare at her raw and pure beauty and will most certainly be judged by the content of her character.
I have a dream
That one day, my daughter will NOT have to go vitiliginous journey
I have a dream today
That one day, humans no longer worry or fear about the word, “vitilogo”
I have a dream today
That one day, humans will no longer worry about pigment loss, re-pigmentation and de-pigmentation….Just live normal peaceful life ignoring the onset of vitilogo on their skin.
I have a dream today
That humans one day, no longer need to worry about the patches or symmetry brought by vitilogo
I have a dream today
That one day, humans no longer worry about covering their skin with creams.
I have a dream today
That one day, humans no longer are diffident due to vitiligo.
I have a dream today
That one day, humans no longer need to answer questions, that should not be asked to begin with
I have a dream today
That my vitilogofriends forum members have nothing to share but success stories, one after another.
I have a dream today
That there will NOT be even one single person impacted negatively due to vitiligo in some form or other
I have a dream today
That pharma companies and medical community will stop playing politics and will come together to find a “permanent cure”.
I have a dream today
That FDA will encourage and open doors for research programs associated with Vitilogo
I have a dream today
That one day, vitilogo is completely ignored even in certain cultures, where vitiligo is not very well welcomed.
I have a dream today
That one day, I just simply forget that vitiligo even exist in my family (and also all other family members, who are currently diagnosed). Basically, got vitilogo ! …If yes, who cares ! Or, he/she has vitilogo, no big deal !. It shall be treated something like wearing eye glasses or contacts ! As simple as that. I prey that day is NOT too far. I hope I will see that in my lifetime.
I have a dream today…
Every pharma compay, regulatory agency and doctor will say, we REFUSE and REJECT the notion that, Vitiligo is incurable.
Humans could fly like a bird. Humans could swim like a fish. Why not, find cure for vitiligo……
I sincerely think, we CAN, if all hands are JOINED !
This is my HOPE….Hope, what a beautiful word !
