Short and sweet.
Don’t ever forget about the things you love. For me, it is writing and music. There are others, but these two things have been with me since the time before my memories start. It’s important never to lose the things you love. And NEVER let anyone take the things you love away from you. Someone who loves you will 1. NEVER tell you what you can and cannot do, and 2. will NEVER keep you from your dreams / will help you achieve your dreams.
These might seem like little things, but in the scope of a lifetime, they’re actually pretty huge. I just wanted to say that for today – these things have seen me through the darkest times and are helping me right now.
I hope you are all having a happy and healthy day or night wherever you are in the world. My heart is always with YOU.
❤ Always, Beth

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.
