I think a lot of people with #chronicillness will relate to this, but I have to say, writing is SO freeing for me. When I got sick, I lost so much of my life. (Did you know I used to love working out? I had a personal trainer. God, I miss it.) But I didn't lose writing 💜
@coyotejme This speaks volumes to me. Even after all these years, I still mourn what has been taken. Writing has been the one constant that has never left. People don't realise what gets lost. Never being able to really make solid plans because you don't know if things are going to flare up. Going long periods of time without decent sleep. It takes it's toll. Having something stable and solid to hang on to, that you have passion for, is so important.
