Don’t ever think you are “too good” for people you don’t know or that you are “too good” for certain things to happen to you. You never know what others are going through and you never know what tomorrow will bring. You can anticipate every scenario imaginable, but I guarantee that if you even look back at situations you thought would be bad and what would happen in these situations, the things that actually occurred were things you never expected to happen and things you could never have anticipated (I do not mean to bring up any sort of “inductive fallacy” here!). Just remember that there are amazing people everywhere on the planet and there are ALWAYS people who are going through awful things they certainly don’t “deserve” – don’t claim that you “deserve” something because, as I have said here many times before, the only static “thing” in life is chaos. And you really do never know what is around the corner, for better or for worse.
❤ 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.
