It's pretty remarkable to be in a situation & suddenly become aware of how much growth you've gone through over the past year or two. When you know how you would have reacted or felt just months ago, yet in the present, you have much more control & a stronger sense of self. My mind often tells me otherwise, that I have not changed & I am not better than before. โ Oh, how rewarding it is to see your inner strength come to light โ I am proud of everyone doing the taxing internal work to better themselves & the world every day!! Feel free to comment any little victories y'all have had recently!! ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ โ

Today is ~Suddenly Sleepy Saturday~ a.k.a. Narcolepsy Awareness Day!!!! {I literally never remember the date anymore, so ignore that the day is almost over now lol} I got diagnosed with Narcolepsy a few days before my 21st birthday but have struggled with sleep problems for as long as I can remember. When I started experiencing symptoms of Narcolepsy, however, that is when my world went from tolerable to me being angry and annoyed 24/7. HERE ARE SOME NARCOLEPSY FUN FACTS โ โ Itโs a chronic neurological disorder โ currently without a cure. โ Involves irregular patterns in REM sleep & disrupts the normal sleep/wake cycle. โ So far, it is believed to affect about 1 in 2,000 people in the US. โ Thereโs Narcolepsy Type 1 {Narcolepsy WITH Cataplexy} & Narcolepsy Type 2 {Narcolepsy WITHOUT Cataplexy}. โ Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: โpersistent sense of mental cloudiness, lack of energy, or extreme exhaustion. Daytime sleep attacks may occur with or without warning. โ Cataplexy: โitโs the sudden loss of muscle tone, usually triggered by emotions; laughter, surprise, fear, anger, etc.โ โ Most also experience ~Disrupted or Fragmented Nighttime Sleep~ โ Hallucinations โ Sleep Paralysis There is not much research on Narcolepsy, which causes widespread misunderstanding of what Narcolepsy is and what it is like to live with it. Share this info, learn more about it, or seek medical assistance if anything I wrote relates to how you feel! Or comment/dm if you want to chat about it!!! xoxo 
Today a random cat came on our porch and peed โโ I think it was a sign from Fetty{~sunshine~} & Krissi letting us know they're doing ok up there ๐พ๐๐๐ค Thanks for bringing me incredible amounts of joy all these years โน๏ธ 
reading this brought me immense joy โบ๏ธ๏ธ happy sunday! 
โITโS 2021 โ ITโS COOL TO CAREโ When I saw @lonelyghost.co working on this campaign it made me so happy & weirdly understood? Itโs hard to explain โฆ but iโll try โโโโ My entire life I have been told to โstop caringโ & โyouโre too nice to ~X~ they obviously donโt careโ or asked โwhy do you care about ~X~ so much?โ โ LITERALLY I DONโT KNOW! WHY DONโT YOU CARE?!?! - is what my brain would be screaming at the person I was talking to. Why did it ever become the more accepted thing to NOT care?! Why is it fun to go through life not having a passion, a hobby, deep friendships & bonds? Why would you stop yourself from learning and exploring everything this world & the people around you have to offer?! It has never made sense to me. So when I saw this campaign I was like, โWow... thank God iโm not the only one who loves to careโ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ CHECK THE BLOG FOR MY POST ABOUT THIS!!! โบ๏ธ๏ธ 
still not a fan of valentineโs day but i do ~love~ these pictures so it works
