Grieving

I don’t do a lot of grieving generally about my condition. I just get by, try to live my life one day at a time, do the best that I can.

But tonight. Tonight I am grieving. Cause the life that was rightfully mine when I was born, was ripped out of my hands at age 8. My body won’t do as I ask it to anymore, and I get to take the consequences of that (hence the living one day at a time).

Tonight I am grieving, because my broken body wouldn’t let my second child live, and now I have to grieve for a whole other reason than just my own body being broken. My heart has been taken down too.

Tonight I’m grieving cause my body has to fight another, mind you harmless, cold. A little viral infection no one would think twice about. But my body has to spend all it’s effort dealing with the intruders, so my already existing brokenness is left to fend for itself.

And it’s hard. It’s shit hard. When your body is dragging you down, and you just don’t know who you are anymore. You’ve travelled so far outside of yourself that you are completely lost. When those you love more than life itself tell you to get your attitude in check and stop being such a bitch. When your brokenness is pushed away and forgotten about. That’s when I grieve for my life that still is rightfully mine.

Someone at my school made these in response to my principal announcing a dress code that, as usual, only applied to girls, and I’m kind of proud

You may now call me bionic woman. Alternatively; her bionicness. 👑 #dexcom #cgm #type1diabetes

King Olav V of Norway riding the tram on his way to skiing in 1973.

"During the 1973 energy crisis driving was banned on certain weekends. King Olav never wanted to miss an opportunity to go skiing, and while he could have driven legally, he wanted to lead by example. So he dressed up in his skiing outfit, and boarded the Holmenkollbanen suburban railway carrying his skis on his shoulder. He was later asked how he dared to go out in public without bodyguards. He replied that "he had 4 million bodyguards" —the population of Norway was at the time 4 million."

People who arrive illegally by boat need to be treated humanely, but they can’t expect five-star treatment or even three-star treatment.

Tony Abbott, 2012

Tony, we keep coming back to the same point. It is not illegal to seek asylum by boat. Its not.

Stop lying.

Let us also consider the The Refugee Convention, to which we are a signatory, and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Both state that people have the right to seek asylum.

You seem to be having a hard time understanding these facts.

I can’t even begin a commentary on the ‘5-star treatment’ comment. Sometimes I think I can no longer be surprised by anything you say. And I always seem to be proven wrong.
