Wrote on my blog how lupus affected my hair and how I got it to grow.

I wish more people understood this

This pain I feel is real And no one can tell me otherwise It’s as real as real gets I can tell by how much I cry

I don’t wish it on anyone Not even my worse enemy I try and make it day by day But sometimes my body fails me

I’m not sick by choice But I do choose to fight Sometimes it angers me But I give it all my might

My life is not the best But I’m grateful I’m still here I’ve learned to appreciate all things And face life without fear

My pain causes me walk slower Sometimes it takes a couple tries The aches and pain last all day But fighting gets me by

At times I have a rash on my face This causes people to stare They make their own assumptions But I’ve learned not to care

I am not just this weak body Because my heart and soul are still in tact I have life and joy It’s just the physical I lack

I’ll continue this journey working hard towards my goals lupus may have body but I have control

No matter our circumstances we should all live life to the fullest. It's too short not to.

You can take a palette of colors and make a rainbow, but if you paint black over it, all you’ll see is the black. But slowly over time, the black will chip away and the colors will show through again. That’s what hope feels like.

Love

Some people say its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all The people who say this don't know losing a love hurts harder than banging your head against a wall At first love is great and for the most part Things are running smooth and sweet Until one day things change and you wish you could Turn back the hands of time and curse the day you too would meet Now, those sweet loving are arms that used to hold you Seem to belong to a stranger They no longer represent peace and protection Now they represent danger Those eyes you once looked into that Appeared to expose his soul Those eyes now expose something That is distant and cold There is good news, more hope And all is not lost But this time make sure to Guard your heart all cost

Life

It's so easy to look at life and say it's not fair. I know I often look at mine and say this but then I realize that things could always be worse. There is always something to be grateful for. I am sick but not dead. I have food on my table, clothes on my back, and family that cares about me. Having lupus is one dark spot in my life, but everything else is bright and gives me the strength to fight so my lupus will not define me.
