Pain and Love...

On May 12 it's World ME Day. You can find information here:

ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day .

 

I am a victim of that illness myself, together with many others here at Flickr. Therefore we will have the theme "Blue for You - ME 2019", on Saturday May 11, in my group Smile on Saturday! :-).

With this topic I would like to encourage all the people here who suffer from that disease, because we can certainly use some mental support!

 

And with my picture and the following words, I try to portray and describe what I feel and how I feel.

 

I am constantly in pain. Yes, constantly. Every single second.

The pain is still there when I don't talk about it.

The pain is still there when I am smiling.

The pain is still there when I am joking.

The pain is there as I write these words...

I'm exhausted from fighting my way through every single day.

I'm exhausted from trying to be stronger than I feel.

I'm exhausted from trying to hide my tears from the people I love...

But yet... it's LOVE that keeps me going.

It's LOVE that still makes me hope that one day...

I will feel alive again.

Maria
