I don’t think that abled bodied people appreciate how a shower can be relaxing and refreshing for them.

I can’t remember the last time showering felt like that for me.

I takes so much energy to shower and I often dread showering because I know how exhausting it will make me feel during and afterwards.

That’s one thing I really hate about my chronic illness.

It’s little things like having a refreshing shower that have been taken away from me that I miss.

GUYS, THIS IS IMPORTANT. I’ve been a lifeguard for four years, and I didn’t fully appreciate this until a little kid jumped into the shallow end of the lap pool. He wasn’t flailing. His eyes were wide in panic and h would try and push himself off the bottom, but the water was right over his head. It took me a couple seconds to register what had happened, and fortunately, another swimmer right beside the kid managed to grab him when he saw my reaction.

I was on holiday in Egypt when I was 14, and there was a 4-year-old Italian boy I had to save because no-one else even thought he was in trouble. Luckily, the water wasn’t too deep and only came up to my waist, but the kid was so small it covered his head. All he did was gasp for air and angle his head up, and tried kicking off the pool floor while reaching his hands up. I sat him on the edge of the pool in the shallow end and then his mother came over and thanked me.

I didn’t think much of it then, but I saved a life that day.

THIS COULD LITERALLY SAVE A LIFE.

After 2 years of lifeguarding and many more of competitive swimming I can verify this. Drowning signs are eerily quiet. It helps to catch them early. The pool I worked at had a large amount of regular clients. I’d always keep an extra lookout for people I didn’t recognize since I didn’t know their swimming ability. Their face aiming towards the sky is the first thing they’ll almost always do. Especially children.

Watch did the invisible ladder with adults, I’ve read loads of reports from seasoned lifeguards that have described this same behavior. I’m not sure why people do this perhaps it works better if you are being carried down river by a current.

You’re not over exaggerating. You’re not too sensitive. You’re not too much. If it hurts you it fucking hurts you. If it makes you angry, then it makes you angry. There’s nothing wrong with you for feeling.

you’ve got stardust pumping through your heart and running through your veins. you are celestial and ethereal no matter how much or how little you accomplish.

Stop waiting to be ill enough.

You’ll never feel ill enough. There will always be a little voice in the back of your head whispering that you’re fine, really, you’d be okay if you only tried harder.

That little voice isn’t the voice of reason - it’s the voice of internalised ableism, and you owe it nothing.

Find someone who can help you. Apply for the benefits you need. Use the mobility aids that make your life easier. Give yourself a break.

You deserve it. You are ill enough. You aren’t faking it, you aren’t mooching. You’re surviving, and you deserve a round of applause.

Your health is important!! :)

IMPORTANT !!

THIS IS A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO PLANT BEE AND POLLINATOR FRIENDLY FLOWERS THIS YEAR. LOTS OF THEM. Without pollinators we will not have fruit, chocolate, or coffee! And if you’re thinking “eh. I can live without chocolate and coffee” well 1.) Bullllshit. And 2.) If bees go extinct we lose nature. Pollen doesn’t spread. Everything /dies/. We die. Time to move on from planting easy flowers like marigolds and zinnias. Plant things like Oregano, lilac, lavender, sunflowers, daisies, sweet pea, coneflower, honeysuckle, and wildflowers! Set up lots of hummingbird feeders this year! Don’t buy the store brand chemical fluid, make your own! It’s just sugar water! Add some chopped strawberries to add extra sweetness! Don’t mow and pick those dandelions! They’re a bees first food after their long winter sleep!! Protect pollinators, friends. They give us life. This is so important. Spread the word and “bee” the change. ❤🐝
