Te rongoa hakihaki na (te mutunga) i maama i ahau he kiri ma
Toka Te Manawa
Kei te maumahara au ki etahi mea mo te pakarikitanga, penei i te heu i oku ringa mo te wa tuatahi i te wa e tatari ana taku whanau ki raro i mua i te haerenga ki Florida. Kei te maumahara ahau ki te korero a toku whaea ki a au ma te whakauru tampon mai i te kuaha o taku kaukau, i te mea kaore au i whakaae ki te tuku ia ia ki roto. Ko nga kiko whero mumura i marara atu ki taku rae me taku kauwae tetahi waahanga o taku koiora, peera i te tohu whanau whanui i te kokonga o roto o taku kanohi matau. He hakihaki tonu ahau, a he tino kino tonu. Ranei, ko te mea nui, i whakaaro ahau he kino.
I aku tau taiohi, i whakamatauria e au nga momo whakaritenga katoa, mai i nga papa Stridex ki Proactiv. I te 18 oku tau, i tino whakapono ahau ki toku whaea kia tukua ahau ki te whakahaere whanau hei pupuri i nga zits. Engari kaore rawa i mahi mo tetahi wa roa, ai te mutunga, i whakaae noa ahau ki taku hakihaki hei waahanga moku. I whakaemi ahau i runga i te turanga hella, me te whakaaro ka ngaro i te wa kua kore oku homoni i te porangi-kaha.
Na, i tetahi ra, ka oho ahau, ka mohio ahau he 25 oku tau, he kiri kiri kino tonu ahau. A kua hoha ahau ki tena. No reira i whakarite ahau ki a Sejal Shah, M.D., kua kiia nei e au ko taku wahine wahine patupaiarehe kiri na te mea he 100% kore korero. "Kei te mate ahau i te mate o te hakihaki," i kii atu ahau ki a ia i tana tari i taua ra tuatahi. Ka whakahoki ia: "Ae, ka taea e au te hoatu ki a koe he kaupapa. Engari ki te tino hiahia koe ki te tino taumaha, ka hoatu e ahau he paturopi." I titiro tika ahau ki te taote pai ka kii atu, "Ka tango ahau i nga raau taero, koa koa ka mihi."
