Summary: As a teenager, Jensen's life is turned upside down when he suddenly develops epilepsy.

His budding romance with the sweet guy he meets at the coffee shop may be just the new beginning he needs.
Reccer's notes: I followed along with this fic while it was a WIP and it was an emotional roller coaster ride. It's a realistic, intimate, and sometimes raw look at a person coping with a debilitating illness, and how it affects not only him, but the people around him. More than anything, it's a wonderful, hopeful love story.
