In a world where you can be anything, be kind 💛 • • • Every person you pass on the street is dealing with something. Not every person has a burden visible to us. For that reason, among so many others, be kind. You never know how one smile to a stranger, one small act of kindness or one compliment could positively change somebody’s day 🌻 . . . #worldkindnessday #makekindnessthenorm
Happy #Friday from this little college freshman version of me 🏫👩🏼‍💻 I have a *love/hate* relationship with #nostalgia (as many people w/ chronic illness probably do.) Because I love reminiscing on the great memories 💕but it also reminds me of a time before my headaches become chronic & before I received my other diagnoses 👩🏼‍⚕️The way I focus more on the love part than the hate part, though, is by remembering I am on a path 🛣 - that it’s ok to miss those memories, but instead of being sad about them, I should be thankful for them. And even though my health has changed over the years, if it hadn’t, I wouldn’t be doing what I am today. If I focus too much on the past🕰, that doesn’t leave any space in my mind to focus on where I can go in the future ✨
Whatever your talents are, you were given them for a reason - to share them with the world 🌎 This is a really great quote to read if you’re ever feeling self-conscious or discouraged about whatever you’re doing 🤸🏼‍♂️, creating 🎨, producing 🎼, etc. . . . What projects are you working on? What hobbies help relax you or spark a little 🔥inside of you?
#narcolepsy is so often undiagnosed and misunderstood. My excessive daytime sleepiness can control my life, sometimes. And I still haven’t found an effective way to really manage it 😴 • • • If you have narcolepsy, what’s some advice you can share? What helps keep you alert? How do you keep your symptoms from controlling your day? @thenapnook
🍂November Intentions🍂 Does anyone else feel like October just didn’t even happen? Time is flying! A new month means a reset for our minds, Intentions & goals. 🍁“Start each day by asking for grace” - Every morning I remind myself to ask God for grace to guide me through the day. 💕 🍁 “Write 3 letters to people in my life (and continue each month” - I really like handmaking cards and a good number of the people I care don’t live in the same city as me, so this will be a good way for me to practice my hobby & keep up with family & friends 📝 🍁 “Continue networking and saying yes to new opportunities” - I’ve had so much fun in the last few months in situations where I really put myself out of my comfort zone. So I’m going to keep doing that! 🍁“End each day with a grateful heart” - it is the season of giving thanks, so I am going to focus on ending my day by giving thanks for all the great parts of my day, big and small 🙏🏼 . . . What intentions are you setting this month? What’s a new thing you want to try? What challenge are you working to overcome? #intentions #intentionsetting #november
“What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful... there’s a word for it: authentic.” 💛 . . . We all make ourselves vulnerable by sharing our stories with the world 🌎 And those stories are a window into the uniqueness that is you. No one else has a story the same as yours. And that’s what makes you beautiful 💕 . . . Invisible illness hides within us. The obstacles we’ve faced don’t always show on the outside. The way I like to show them, is through writing📝Sometimes I share my writing with others and sometimes it’s just for me. No matter how you decide to be vulnerable, just continue doing it. Be authentic because that’s how your beauty shines through ✨ ••• 📸: @xp3cto
