Journal volume 58 started in October 2016 and went through June 2017. It started around Halloween (YAY) and then survived the election (barely) and was by my side through the holidays, our 5th anniversary, and my 31st birthday; it felt lonely when I was in the hospital and even a little neglected once I got out. But I made a promise to keep writing, even just a little bit, and I'm still fucking here. [The photo is of a mural I watched them paint on the wall outside my hospital room.] #personalbullshit #imstillfuckinghere #thelupusstrikesback
