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

Selena Gomez Chronically Ill?! Breaks My Heart✨
