So imma come back to this one! But I just caught the end of an ad playing in the background that said ” … because the most rewarded things in life are earned.” It immediately struck me as … dissonant. Perhaps the statement makes more sense the other way around? I don’t think this is a statement of any sort of striking veracity in any capacity, but I wanted to make note of it here because it is certainly an interesting “thought” – however foolish it might be – and worth discussing!
And on that note, I am off to bed! By the by, if you are *yet again!* not an English major / didn’t major in English / didn’t go to college yet or before, &c., I highly recommend every native English speaker to read Erasmus. Truly amazing, insightful, and hilarious – especially given the general “humor” of writing at the time . One of my top 20 books, without question. Have a great, happy, and healthy night (or day!) everyone!
❤ Always, Beth
And I WILL be back for more on WEDNESDAY! Wisdom Wednesday, here I come!!

I have been living with chronic illness since I was 2 months old. My first "formal" chronic illness diagnosis was Behçet's Disease - I was 17 at the time. I was later diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (I more or less led the doctors to that diagnosis - that story is for another time!) and those have been my "primary" two illnesses. I have many other "secondary" diagnoses such as seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chiari 1 Malformation (a result, I believe, of the Behçet's causing aseptic meningitis time and again since it had never appeared in brain scans before I was about 24-25), osteoporosis, compression fractures of the thoracic spine, and many others. I know what it is like to feel as if you have lost years of your life that you can never recover from illness and the many restrictions it places upon you in your everyday life. I just want you to know that I know what it is like and I have been there through every period of my life - you are NOT ALONE! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need someone to talk with or someone just to listen to you - I am always here! Thank you for taking the time to read this and my other posts and I hope you are having a happy and healthy day no matter where you are in the world! Take care.
