That's a point I'm trying to get at:

Her determination is strong, because she has a serious problem. But the problem doesn't make her invalid, nor does it get worse because of her job. I believe most people if they were in ayu's situation (the fame, the career - and obviously the self steem she has), they still wouldn't give up, because to tell the truth, it's a lot harder to give up on such a career than to accept working with such a disability. The decision would have been harder if her job had been directly related to causing her disability, but it isn't.This is why I don't see that much as a honorable quality. She just chose the most reasonable path imo. She still can sing and perform, with hardships, but she still can. This is where I get that she isn't really making any superhuman effort to go on with what she should. If i were in her condition I'd do the same, i'd still go on with my careeer, because I'd know I'd still could make it worth it.

Sorry if i sound so annoying about it. I really like and admire ayu a lot, but I try to be moderate on what could be just my fandom creating masks to put ayu on a higher pedestal than she should be LOL
