So I Spent A Day Admitted, The Went Home After Having Some Relief. Then It All Came Back Full Force 12

Since the Finalists have been announced I suppose it’s time for me to post my submission!

Imagine my shock and surprise finding out I made it to THE FINALS!!!! Winx club truly means so much to me and I wouldn’t be the artist I am today without it! If you told kid me that the Winx team liked our art enough to pick us in top 25 I wouldn’t believe you haha!

Thank you Winx Club. This has really been like a dream come true! 💕

incredible 10/10

maddening that the media refuses to call nazi salutes what they are. HOW ARE WE HERE RIGHT NOW. fucks sake.

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.

the levels of brain fog i am experiencing i might as well be in fucking silent hill

notalgia is so strange because what do u mean i long for things that remind me of the worst times of my life?

anyone who thinks health issues end with walking out of the hospital doors, massive reality check for ya. there is no clocking out of chronic illness or disability.

surgery does not cure everything, medication does not cure everything. hospital cannot cure everything.

the amount of people in my life who believe that when i go to hospital, i will be discharged cured or symptom free is astonishing to me.

most of these people have known me long enough to have seen me through multiple hospital admissions and every time they come back to this way of thinking even though its never happened.

Migraines are so odd, like wdym I have a headache and now I'm temporarily blinded

✨ Things I'm insecure about because of my disabilities ✨

Being unreliable

Having a messy room

Abdominal bloating

Not being 100% on top of my hygiene

Having to excuse myself to the washroom more often

Using my mobility aids

Random bruising

My chicken (weak) legs

Having to explain myself to strangers

Taking the accessible seating on the bus/train

Tripping over myself

My brain fog (I used to have a fantastic memory, I feel like I come off as stupid now)

Being super sweaty

Not being "good representation"

Leaving functions early

Sitting on the floor in public

And so much more. This is a reminder that you're not alone in feeling gross or undesirable, it's also okay to feel that way.

Sometimes you need to feel the feelings before you deal with them.
