over here feeling like the ultimate warrior. spiritual warrior, healing warrior, and most of all- #LYMEWARRIOR.
i don’t share my healing journey to complain or evoke sympathy or “for the likes.”
i share to inspire, educate, and create a sense of community on these little pixelated screens.
connecting on here over the last 6+ years, but especially the last 2 that i’ve been sick, has been a light on my darkest days.
this community lifts me up and supports and teaches me so much on a daily basis.
i am still dumbfounded (beyond) by @nymag writing slanderously about lyme patients and the “pride” with which we share our “#lymewarrior content.”
so @thecut, i would say this one is for you- because i am damn proud of my second intensive surgery for lyme disease. (the first of which i’m still recovering from almost a year later.)
but i can’t say it’s for you because it’s not. ♀️
it’s for me, my fellow lyme warriors, and my non-lyme community on here who empowers one another and are open to education and growth beyond what they’ve personally experienced.
i have so much love in my heart for each and every one of you.
thank you for making the internet “home” for me for all of these years, and through the darkness too. #lymedisease #lymediseaseawareness #chroniclyme
