This was made for me by my bestest friend, Autumn. @autumnsunshine10 She compared me to lace, which she knows is one of my favorite things! I love this gift so incredibly much! But there are no words for how much I love her. You guys know this has been a really hard week for me. But getting through it was a million times easier thanks to Autumn. She brings me endless comfort and joy. I wish everyone could have a friend like her! Thanks to Autumn and Derek, I never have to feel lonely or unloved. I am so blessed to have them and all the other amazing people in my life!

TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE . . This touching piece was made for me by my awesome friend when I was having a not so awesome day. @autumnsunshine10 helps me get through even the hardest of times with her love, support, understanding, and thoughtfulness. I wish everyone could have a friend like her. . . I want to talk about why I was having a hard time, because I think it’s something many can relate to. . . There’s an abusive person in my life who I can’t completely get away from, because they’re family. And thanks to my chronic illness, I still partially depend on my family financially to survive. So I can’t cut them out of my life, even though they can take a huge toll on my mental health. I’m afraid that a lot of disabled/chronically ill people are in a similar position, many in even worse situations. And it breaks my heart. . . I looked forward to getting away from my family for so long. Knowing that I’d eventually be free of them kept me going. I had no idea that, when I was finally an adult, I would become unable to support myself and would become dependent on the people I couldn’t wait to escape. Thankfully I don’t have to depend on them 100% thanks to my husband, who is amazing and supports me as much as he can. And thankfully most of the members of my family have improved a lot from how they used to be. They still put stress on me, but not more than I can handle. This one person however, one text or phone call from them can send me spiraling. No matter how far I’ve come with my mental health, this one person can make years of progress disappear in a matter of seconds. . . If you still have abusive people in your life and can’t escape them, whether you’re still a kid or an adult who’s been robbed of their independence because of their illness or disability, I just want you to know that you’re not alone. There are so many of us going through this with you. I’m so proud of myself for surviving all this time and I’m so proud of you, too. We are so strong. Even if I’m not free yet, I have to have hope that one day I will be. And I hope the same for all of you. But no matter what, we will persevere. Because we are strong as hell. We are survivors. https://www.instagram.com/p/BoaMS6GHGBO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=149p8vp4e0zqb

. Okay, so yeah, my first #spokenword . This is a new original piece written just for this experiment, inspired by the people I love and who love me back. Please bear with me because I am nervous, this being my second ever posted video online and all. I plan to do more and know I will get better as I go. #spokenwordpoetry #myvideo #nofilter #spokenpoetry #inspired #love #miracle #bearwithme #poetryofig #poetsofig #originalpoem #poetryisnotdead #instapoet #poetrylovers #poetryofinstagram #poetsociety #poetscommunity #poetsofinstagram #spilledwords #fromtheheart #womenwhowrite #autumnsunshineatlast

So I finally decided to branch out and join Instagram. It's mostly for my writing but I'm not opposed to posting the occasional word-free snapshot. If any of you are on there and would like to follow my account (so far I have made only one post but there's certainly more where that came from) look me up: autumnsunshineatlast 😀
