I Forget

Sometimes I forget how smart and capable I really am I let what others say sway me from believing what I know is the actual truth I sometimes joke in an attempt to hide all these feelings that I keep locked inside knowing those not like me can never understand
Sometimes I forget I am destined to do more I give in to the desire to just give up I forget how strong I really am that I am not weak and my Narcolepsy is not all that I am and that every hour I continue to fight I gain more power to overcome any plight that the devil may see fit to throw my way
Sometimes I forget it doesn't matter what others say they don't walk the paths that I walk each day after day They will never know never understand what it is to be me I forget that their words shouldn't hurt because they aren't worth the value of dirt
Sometimes I forget there is a fighter in me I forget how far I have come to get closer to the place I want to be I forget that no matter how tired I get or how much I feel I've failed my God will always carry me though my darkest moments to a place where His light will always cover me
Sometimes I forget to love me for me how to love who I am and be proud of who I have grown to be
So many times I have forgotten the most important of things but my God is so awesome He never fails to show me there is glory and it is by His glory and mercy I am reminded no matter what I am a true queen

Narcolepsy: Idiocy vs Actuality

Today I was reading an article that a very special person took the time out of her life for. She took the time to let strangers see what it is like for her everyday living with Narcolepsy. It was not something she had to do but something she wanted to do in an effort to increase awareness.  Being PWN's, (persons with Narcolepsy ) we already know there is a stigma attached to the disease.  Yes, it is officially classified as an auto-immunological disease as well as a neurological disorder.  I digress.  Anyhow, after getting my official diagnosis,  I began hearing all the want to be doctors give their assessments and opinions of what I needed to do and I just brushed it off. Reading some of the comments that I read this evening though were just on a whole other level, especially coming from complete strangers, so I am going to clarify some things. Where should I begin? I think I will start with weight gain. Most PWN do not gain weight because they are too lazy to exercise.  Also, i

I Will Not Apologize

People get upset when I say that they can't possibly understand what it is like to live with a chronic illness unless you share that illness. They don't always understand that reading about and researching it isn't the same as living it. People don't understand that Narcolepsy and Cataplexy are a part of me and and they dictate, not me, a lot of my responses. I can see how it might be hard to understand that I am not brushing off or ignoring situations because I don't respond the way I should. I get that it is hard to comprehend that my seemingly lack if emotion is a necessity for me to make it through. It is as automatic to me as breathing and it us NOT going to change. Narcolepsy is an awful illness but coupled with Cataplexy, it can be almost unbearable if you don't make some unnatural adjustments. I can't show you what it feels like. If you don't have it, all I can do is try to give you a glimpse. Imagine if every time someone at work frustrated yo

A More Humanistic View: Jada Pinkett ith

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyZhTsVryjN/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg== I understand that the Will and Jada situation is tiring. I know most of us don't want to hear anymore about it. If you take the celebrity status out of the equation and view it from a more humanistic point, it really becomes less of a punchline. People see an actress trying to sell her book. I see a woman who possibly just wants to be understood. Everyone has made her out to be this bad person without really knowing the full dynamics of their relationship. I think a good portion of it might even be a result of trauma bonding. I know we are tired, but I think Bluecentric gives really good insight and makes some very valid points. I would hope most people bashing Jada would really listen and at least gain maybe just a bit more empathy. I might just be a little too idealistic though.
