Suffering and smiling: how to pretend you're not chronically ill
Research shows that people with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have the same quality of life as kidney failure patents that are on dialysis. I don’t think a lot of people realize that it’s bad. When I was diagnosed my doctor said that it’s not a death sentence but it might feel like one. I know that I’m not going to get better. I don’t think that I truly made peace with that. It’s not a cold I am not going to wake up one day and be perfectly fine. I don’t think that my family fully understands. My life isn’t about living anymore it was about surviving. I want my life so bad. I’m doing everything I can. 15% of patients with my condition faint. I am sadly apart of that 15%. On the bad days I faint somewhere between 4-9 times a day. It’s a very isolating experience. So the doctors and the clinics everything a patient tries. Anything to get me to remotely feel better.

How criticism can actually be GOOD for you!
Who in their right mind likes to be criticized? No one! Criticism has both positive and negative meanings. Sadly, we are more inclined towards the latter. But if one learns to take criticism in the best way possible, it can lead to becoming the person one has always dreamed of. Criticism teaches valuable qualities such as tolerance, communication skills, humility, and emotional resilience. Mastering the art of handling criticism can lead to the acquisition of these great abilities.

HUMANITY
Light is fluttering across my closed eyelids. The glow from the sunrise makes its way through the skin, gently nudging my eyelids to open. I slowly open my eyes from a heavy sleep and telepathically greet the sun's morning light coming into the room. There is a slight breeze this morning, and the abstract shadows created by the summer leaves from the tree outside the window wave frantically across my face. Glimpses of sharp, bright morning light flashes into my eyes.

Life is like a quiet lake, it always creates ripples after ripples in our hearts. These ripples may make us lost, may make us awake, but in my heart, they are always gentle, because behind that ripple, there is a girl's heart that always carries her dreams.

Where’s Your Mom?. Content Warning.
Most kids go through an awkward stage at some point in their childhood. My childhood was just plain awkward from day 1. From the time I was old enough to recognize my own thoughts, there was something off, something unspoken. A great big elephant in the room that everyone just pretended wasn’t there.

My Moms Consequence
I never considered before, what was going on with my mom when I was a kid. She had always been a little on the harsh side with me, but always seemed to dote on my brothers. I wouldn’t say that she hated me, but I would say that I was absolutely not her favorite child. My mere existence seemed to irritate her to no end.
