god… the romance of sitting in a room with the person you love, each of you doing your own thing like reading a book or playing a game…. silent but full of love and warmth

The garden of Eden lives
in the hollow of my throat
Your lips are holy there,
your words what heaven wrote
Write your scripture on my skin
make my body hallowed ground,
Lift my head by my chin
So I can stare into the clouds

Chronic fatigue is a hard illness to accept, and when you constantly hear things like, 'well you just need to get to bed earlier', or 'you need to exercise more'. It constantly seems like you're lazy or like you're losing your mind, and it feels like your body is betraying you over nothing.
I want to play games with my family. I want to be able to sit at the table with them and pay attention to the conversations, but my head feels full of cotton and my eyes burn like I've pulled two all-nighters and all I can manage is to lay on the couch in close proximity to them as they go about their activities. I don't have an answer for them when they ask me why I'm so tired other than, apparently it's a flare day.
Sitting up in a chair is too much for me right now, how upsetting is that? The effort it would take to do so is beyond me and the only thing I want is to be able to sleep for a month.
Exercising would make this flare worse and I wouldn't have even been able to sit with my family for as long as I did. Going to bed at 7pm isn't going to change the fact that my body cannot recouperate like everyone else's. It does not matter how much or how little sleep I get, my body is different. It's hard to accept, but I'm trying.
