“ i just want to say I’m sorry for anyone who wasnt believed... i don’t know what turn my life would have taken if people didn’t believe me when i said that something is happening to me” - @taylorswift Miss Americana after the one year anniversary of her sexual assault court case

imagine if every minute of everyday people didn’t believe you; family, friends, work and even your doctors become deaf to your words because of how little they take your account seriously

Think about the turn your life would take..

then go hug someone with an invisible disease and let them know you believe them. Because your moment of humanity may save them from the mental and physical turn their life has already taken

When tragedy strikes someone you know in a way you’ve never dealt with before, it’s okay to say that you don’t know what to say. Sometimes just saying you’re so sorry is all someone wants to hear. It’s okay to not have any helpful advice to give them; you don’t have all the answers. However, it’s not okay to disappear from their life in their darkest hour. Your support is all someone needs when they’re at their lowest point. Even if you can’t really help the situation, it’s nice for them to know that you would if you could.

This shook me to my core...some tragedies are slow and nearly invisible they happen over time and if you are not paying attention you may miss the darkness someone is feeling. CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE, even if they don’t ask. Chronic Illness is a slow, long and consistent tragedy that brings on new challenges every.single.day. Over the last three year I have lost so many things and what hurts the most is those who were so close to me missed it or just didn’t show up.  

Let’s be better to one another, let’s show up even when we don’t want to, let’s be kind and listen. Let’s believe the ones we love when they open up because everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. Let’s be RARE.
