Zoom in on her face in the third gif. She means this. You are completely irreplaceable.

This went deep man. Look at her face. I would love to know where this came from, what she was talking about. And it’s true. So true. Completely irreplaceable. You are you and there is no better you

Reblogging because I needed to see this message tonight, and something tells me someone else does too.

Reblogging as I think every one of my followers are special and impossible to replace.

Remember that.

You are all special and important, and Ellen is a gift.

Apparently planes don’t have refrigerators... desperate times calls for my frio cooling pack and this janky setup 😂

[gennawithag]

I am so emotional about this... I am so grateful to this model and all the individuals who were in the position to make this happen ❤️❤️❤️

met a non-diabetic today who knew the difference between type 1 and type 2

To every Type 1 Diabetic who will come across this - 

You should be so damn proud of yourself. For going on that run. For completing that last minute task your boss gave you at work. For putting the dishes away. For supporting your spouse when they needed you. For helping your friend.For showing up in your life every single day.

You were put on a more difficult track, yet still keep pace with everyone else.  Do you realize how admirable that is? Do you realize that you teach our daughters and sons about resilience just by the way you live your life? You literally radiate self love by surmounting the insurmountable every single day.

Diabetic dichotomy

*when i feel like drinking* me: don't tell me what i can and can't do. don't judge me, you don't know anything about my disease. it's dangerous? ~eye roll~ please. watch me drunk eat a cookie too. hell, maybe some pizza. i'd rather live my life on my terms than let this disease control me

*when i don't feel like drinking* me: yeah, ya know, i'm diabetic so i really shouldn't. i mean, it can really screw with my sugars and it's pretty dangerous, some might even describe it as life threatening... so....

Diabetes: the misunderstood bully

The world wants me to make you an enemy. Sometimes, I think you want that too. The problem with that though, is that to make you an enemy I must make myself a victim.

I refuse to live in a reality created for me by the masses. You are not bad, you are not scary, you do not carry the power. You are not something that ‘happened to me’ or something that attacked me.

You are a part of my story, a part of me. You remind me everyday to show up for myself. You shine a light on the things going right in my life. You remind me of the things that actually matter. You have taught me about self love and authentic power.

Sometimes, I will want to hate you. Sometimes, I will cry because of you. But in the moments I will be reminded I have a choice; become your victim or decorate my life with the blessings you’ve brought to me.
