Self-Care

When fear is holding things together, it gets to decide when they fall apart. And it always will — because fear is never satisfied.

In some circles, there is subtle judgment that implies I did something to cause my lymphedema. Frankly, sometimes it’s not subtle at all.

With that one shaky experience under my belt, I was a bit more confident about the trip to Baltimore, until that moment when I realized I might not have time to get to the gate.

When I think about it, one of the big reasons why my closet is stuffed with all kinds of things that are weirdly disjointed is that I have trouble knowing who I really am.

Do I just show up at work the next morning in a wig? I played it out in my mind and didn’t like it.
