Being Vulnerable . . .

It's been a while, sorry 😦 but I do miss writing it soothes my soul lol Just went to a friend's farewell party and to be honest wasn't sure I was going to go due to the headache I've had all day, but she was leaving to follow her dreams and moving to the big city …

Anxiety . . . please go away . .

I found this awesome article on BuzzFeed titled, "What you say to someone with chronic pain, and what they hear". . It displays images of typical conversations that people with a chronic illness have with "normal" people everyday. I loved the article because I could relate, but then I thought, "why isn't it okay for me to take people …

When I found the below video on YouTube of an ambitious young woman who had to make the decision to have …
