This is a blog to give support, promote healing and empowerment, and share stories about people living with mental and physical chronic illnesses--including but not limited to, dysautonomia, POTs, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, etc. I know I am much more than just another sick girl! This blog was made a long time ago and I never wanted to change the name! We are more than our chronic illnesses even when it feels like we aren't!

Don't Underestimate Youth
I don't even care if nobody reads this because I felt the need to write it for my own sake. If someone does read it, then good. I would like that. There are points that need to be made and recorded. I can contradict myself, it doesn't matter, not really. Every one does that eventually. As I am learning, most of the great poets and politicians contradict themselves,it i s only human. This is a message for anybody who is older than I; do not underestimate youth. Just because I am younger than you doesn't mean I have not experienced life, emotions, loss, revelation, clarity, life lessons learned, etc. We are all human. honestly, I don't think age has a lot to do with human experience and human emotion. If you don't understand or don't belief what I am saying then fine, that is your own opinion and this is mine. Just because I am young doesn't mean I can't write a kick-ass blog or kick-ass memoir about my courage and my vulnerability as a young adult. I HAVE experienced these things. I HAVE experienced clarity, just like everyone should. It doesn't mean everyone does. If I told you that I was writing a memoir and you say that I am "too young," too bad, I am still going to fucking do it! Thank you for reading this post, if you made it this far. Ha. Rant over... for now.
