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

How I combat depression during chronic illness

A girl wearing a Make-A-Wish shirt and cat ears sits on a couch, smiling at a person dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. A text overlay reads, "I was a make a wish child!".
Three women stand together outdoors at night. The central woman, the Make-A-Wish child, is flanked by her coordinator and another woman holding balloons. Text overlays identify the coordinator and mention the wish was for Disney and Universal in Orlando.
