RestIsMyResistance
41 What happens when you stop playing by societys rules & resting becomes your only way to resist? Living with ME/CFS & MS, I write about chronic illness, ableism & bullying & the beauty of life. Exploring dignity and self-worth beyond productivity.
You will have earned my deepest trust and my love if I ever dare being hurt by you and let you know I hurt. Please. Do not walk away. In that moment, I am brave. I am vulnerable. I am trusting you. I am trusting us. I am trusting us to figure it out. To connect. To be even closer. I hope I am not mistaken.

When I trust you.
I want to run Until I collapse into the grass. I want to climb until my fingers bleed. I want to laugh Until my lungs burn. While disease always finds a way. I look at old pictures While I take a break. I watch the sky While I lie in bed. I live off memories While my life trickles away.
