Dear C, Hi. I have read somewhere that humans only get to truly fall in love with three people in their lifetime - their first love, their hard love, and their quiet love. In mine, from being so young and carefree, I still don’t know how I got so blessed to have met you so early in my life and say that I’d get to experience all three loves in you. Words are not enough to say thank you for pursuing me the right way and for consistently leading me to where we are today. A month has passed since we said our ‘I dos’, and, apart our vows, what I’ll always bear in my mind are your words saying how you would not take anything better than for our wedding — sure do, ours is perfect because in it there’s you. I really just want to thank you because in that day my fairytale came true and you made me the fairest of them all with a never-ending happy ever afters. Happy monthsary, hubby! Always, M. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQY2gAHP1_L5Bs_fvVk1auRqfgj_gOEaiMmxs0/?utm_medium=tumblr

When I tell people I have an autoimmune illness, the reactions range from revulsion (some people are totally freaked out by it and believe it’s contagious) and overcompensation (too much sympathy and attempts to absolve me of responsibility). I don’t blame them, because it’s hard to get it right. But both responses rob us, Spoonies, of autonomy. And autonomy is part of our self-care — something often forgetten when we only focus on the emergencies rather than quality of life.

Ultimately, living with autoimmunity is like any life-threatening disease, in that it’s a lesson in human futility — a futility that we humans avoid confronting if we can possibly help it. It is what remains of the self when all predictability, control, and hope is removed. We live in the present, taking one moment at a time, and find joy in the corners of our existence. I believe this to be the actual truth of life when all illusion has been stripped away. And, knowing this, I laugh defiantly, wake up in a very painful body, and begin another unknowable day.

Take away the discipline and modernity of this place and what remains is the beautiful fusion of the different languages spoken in perfect harmony all at once.. (at Mount Faber Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4c-dW4nfYmbTgLJsPxJAk41LK0S7C1jTFlFNE0/?igshid=czuc0jpoh4z5

I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong. Oh, but life goes on and maybe I'm just a girl on a mission, but I am ready to fly.. Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world ~ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0475GRHIU2/?igshid=xx3y895sbou6

“[Ted continues to see Robin in every person he encounters] Ted: Why are you still here? Robin: [as MacLaren’s bartender] Why do you think I’m still here? Ted: I guess because I’m in love with you. Why else would I be seeing your face everywhere I look? Robin: [as old patron] Because you feel bad. Ted: Of course I feel bad. I told you I love you, which is apparently the worst thing you can say to someone. Robin: That’s not why you feel bad. You feel bad because after you said it, you let me go away. I know our relationship wasn’t exactly what you wanted it to be, and I know I may not love you the way you love me, but I do love you. Isn’t that worth hanging on to? Ted: [pause] I miss you. Robin: [as model in Wharmpess Gold beer] So go get me back.”

Though we argue about many things and irritate each other a lot, we still end up sleeping on the same bed.. (haha) It's always so great to have you as my sister. I love you and I pray for success in every endeavor you take. Happy birthday, Ate.
