Do you look at your life differently now than before you were diagnosed?

This question is for mainly people diagnosed with a serious illness(though anyone feel free to answer)

I have been reading my journal trying to motivate myself to update my blog, I’ve read it from start to finish (I’ve never done this before, I assumed everything would be really similar), from before my illness started, to before my first episode, to after my first episode, to after my second episode, to before I was diagnosed, to now, and I noticed a significant change in the way I think and my views on people/life.
Has anyone else noticed a change in themselves?
