Chronic pain

I think pain is real. I think we all feel it. I think that it's a dominating force within our bodies that we go through on a daily basis, some of us. And some days are easier than others. Some days I can push through and be wonder Woman, and other days I just want to curl up in a ball, stay in bed and forget about the world

It's. There's a quote that I wrote regarding pain, and I write a lot of different life quotes, and hopefully through this journey, I'll be able to share most of them with you. But the one that fits today's podcast is medicine isn't meant to fix us. It's meant for us to be able to wear a mask. And what that means is it's not meant to cure our ailments. It's not to make everything poof go away

I just needed to admit that I'm not okay and that I am in a flyer period and I feel like I am alone and I have nobody to talk to about it because nobody understands. You look at me and I look perfectly fine. I look perfectly healthy. You would never know. And I guess that's my facade some days. I like being able to wear that tough exterior and make it look like nothing's wrong

But like I said, I am doing this podcast to let you guys in on my life and my world. And you're not going to like them all. You're not going to listen to them all in full. You might not listen to them all right away. It's not anything you have to do. Like I said, I'm not here to claim to be anything that I'm not. I'm not here to get pity or to have people say, poor me
