All throughout childhood and teenage years I have been so misunderstood.

So many adults being mean or cruel because they didn't realize how serious my pain is and was.

Life has been so hard as I have worked hard to stand up for myself because no one else would.

I have struggled with being angry that my parents ever brought me into this existence where every bad health condition on both sides of my family combined in me to maximize misery. Only recently did we learn that at 17 I had arthritis and still do. Genes and environment have worked cruelly together to bring about as many health issues as possible.

Having SO MANY health problems and things to deal with into the hundreds of symptoms has made it so I have had to work incredibly hard to keep wanting to live.

Today my mom said: Can I just tell you how sorry I am you have the body you do?

Suddenly it was like a balm was put on my soul and I had incredible relief after suffering so much these past years.

Vindication is something I crave after all these years of being overlooked and misjudged and so misunderstood.

Today is a good day Mighty friends ❤️❤️❤️

Found this at the dollar store and loved it right away! I love the idea of being our best or blossoming year round.

It has been my life choice to always be the best I can be. To be fully honest all the time. And to look and see the good in everyone.

To expect nothing but be happy when I get anything, to live in the moment and savor every bit of good that comes my way. To never judge others harshly and to look beyond the facade others may wear to hide their truth they don't want anyone to see.

Or in other words to search unerringly for any and all truth. To be the truth seeker!

Just my Lil bit of truth.

What is yours? What keeps you going and what gives meaning or purpose to you personally?

It takes me days after an appointment to be rested up especially with my chronic fatigue.

After a few months of appointments I quickly reach the point where I am so sick of them and I stop wanting to even answer my phone let alone go to appointments and go through the hoops of anything and everything medical. A short lifetime of constant appointments at least weekly since I was 13 and now being 29 I Have to plan rewards after my appointments or I don't even want to go in the waiting rooms. Now that I am older I purposely take weeks off of appointments though I prefer months off not that I ever get a full month off *sigh*

Anyone else get sick of appointments too?

If I have an appointment with a terrible doctor( even a lifetime of Dr appointments and I have only had 10 good ones from cardiologists to pain doctors to primary care physicians) my quota reaches my limit super fast. My psychosis was started and keeps happening with anything to do with bad doctors.

It is based on feeling I have no control in my life and rarely ever have. Being unable to live on my own, have a job, or even drive has significantly worsened my psychosis.

Though I have found that doing artistic things helps me feel more in control and makes me happy yo be who I am.

Oh how little health people know about the lives we live!
