CASUAL REMINDER TO ANYONE WITH SCOLIOSIS, KYPHOSIS, ETC.

What happened to you was not a result of bad posture

Your hunchback, scar, or anything you have as a result of a curved spine does not make you any less beautiful.

I know the pain you’re going through be it a back brace or recovering from spinal fusion.

You don’t have to sit up straight for anyone, especially when it’s damn near physically impossible to do that.

You’re stronger than you or anyone else may think. Going through such a condition is far from easy.

You don’t need people who put you down for your condition.

I hope you make a full recovery from whatever you’re going through be it physical therapy, a back brace, or surgery.

Reblog if you’re chronically ill, support chronically ill people, or you fell over putting pants on this morning

[lysanarose-blog]

One thing I realized this week is that living with chronic illness is like getting your heart broken again.  Over and over.

Like Groundhog’s Day

“Imagine some of the worst moments in your life–the ones that led you to open a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and watch TV in bed for a week.  Maybe it was the messy breakup when your relationship ended in a restaurant.  Maybe your boss laid you off.  Or maybe you left a job you had forever because your boss and coworkers were toxic.  Or the time you realized a friendship was over.  You might have taken steps to move on like unfriending your ex on Facebook, deleting certain contacts from your phone, or learning new skills so you could get a job you like.  Depending on what you could control, you tried your best to make your life better.  But what if you were forced to relive those moments again and again?  What if every Saturday night you got to relive that breakup and have the ugly cry at that restaurant?  What if you got laid off every Monday like it was Groundhog’s Day?  That would probably drive you nuts.”

“I am so in love with you that there isn’t anything else.”

— Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

“You will fall in love with someone who’s cold and always seemingly pushing you away. When all is said and done, they will be forever known as the one person you couldn’t get to love you. Unfortunately, it will hurt and sting worse than the good ones, the ones that chopped up your meat for you and picked out an eyelash from your eye and were nice to your mother, because love often feels like a game we need to win.”
