I’m chronically ill, but I’m also…

Being chronically ill is unfortunately a huge part of who I am... but it is not ALL I am. I'm so grateful for all the amazing parts of my life and every adjective I identify with. Sadly, some of these sometimes get overshadowed by my continuous pain. But I will keep fighting and pushing for a positive, loving and productive life ❤️

I am a LGBTQIA+, Chronically-ill, Autistic teacher
And I struggle. I am a human being. Sure, I have good days and not-so-good days, where my pain flares up and I feel dysphoric and the sound of students makes me want to scream due to overstimulation. Sure I cry a lot in my free time, and sleep as soon as I get home, I forget to eat and drink. S

Selena Gomez Chronically Ill?! Breaks My Heart✨
It honestly hurts me to see fans body shaming Selena Gomez. One day she’s “too big,” the next day she’s “too small.” Like, can we just stop? It’s frustrating because she’s always been so beautiful and growing up, I looked up to her and even now! Seeing people reduce her to numbers on a scale makes
