Melody, thank you for generously sharing this experience. "Good days" are emotionally-confusing for me. On the one hand, I'm always excited and grateful to be able to push my body and do more of what I want without dealing with painful consequences. At the same time, those good days also remind me (in a very 3-D, in-your-face kind of way) how very "not-okay" my body, and my days, usually are.
This was so beautiful, Melody! What a great reminder to celebrate the good days, even if they are few and far between. I hope there are many more good days for you coming up 🤍🤍
I appreciate your willingness to let us into your mind and lived experience - I am struck by the strength, nuance, and beauty in your unique perspective ❤️
So happy that you're able to celebrate your body! It sounds like you've experience so much pain and discomfort, but that you can see the strength it holds.
