Broken.

there's this disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Some (very rare) babies are born with this kind of abnormality, where there is some defect to the colagen which will cause the bones to break easily. Try reading a very touching novel by Jodi Picoult - Handle With Care. The bones are brittle and can break under the slightest pressure, even when sneezing! So if these babies did not die at birth, they will have to live with hundreds of broken bones throughout their lifetime. And i guess they will even come to a point when they dont even notice it anymore. Sebab dah selalu sgt kot kn, dh tak perasan. After a few moments, when the pain kicks in, baru macam eh its broken.

i think the same thing is happenning to my heart.
