Let Us Begin…

(TW: Mental Health, Chronic Illness)

          Unfortunately, this isn’t a fairytale about a young girl who gets sick, and miraculously gets better.

          This is the very real, very frustrating, and at times very confusing story about how I went from a moderately healthy, and sometimes happy individual to a chronically ill, and fully disabled person.  Not at all what this blog was supposed to be when I started on May 18th, 2020.  When we first started this blog, it was right after my mom died, Covid19 shut down the entire world, and I just didn’t know what to do with myself anymore.

          So, maybe I was just screaming into a void.

          Maybe I was trying to hold myself accountable to something, anything, because I felt (at the time) like the entire world was falling apart, and I needed something.  Anything.  Now, here we are in 2024, and I’ve gone through periods of writing on this blog, ignoring this blog, and debating on whether or not I want to delete it altogether because, life is… hard.

          I’ve gone from one diagnosis to multiple, because apparently, chronic illnesses are like potato chips, and you can’t just have one.  So, this is it… my journey.  There are some plot holes, a few villain arcs, and some characters haven’t been fully introduced yet but, that’s okay.  We’re going to do this one chapter at a time, one day at a time.  It isn’t over yet, some of the best stories have sequels.
