Des has Lupus Living with a chronic illness has changed how I move through the world.

This page is where I share what lupus looks like in my body, in my life, and in my quiet moments💜

🤍🐞I started to talk about what I’m actually living through.
I never expected my most vulnerable moments to become someone else’s permission to stop feeling guilty for theirs.

💬Like this page, follow and comment.

And share it with someone who needs the same permission to stop fighting themselves.

The guilt will have you putting yourself on trial for a crime you didn’t commit.

You don’t need to find the thing you did “wrong” to explain why you got sick🤍

🫂People leave, and the hardest part is accepting that their leaving doesn't mean you weren't enough.

Some chapters end without anyone being the villain.

Don't chase.
Don't explain.
Never shrink yourself to keep someone in your life.

People leave.

Sometimes, believe their “it's not you, it's me.”

And eventually, learn that that's okay too🤍

🤍Taking care of yourself is not a committee decision.

You don't need permission to choose yourself.

✅️Save this for the next time guilt tries to make the decision for you.

You are allowed to have a day where nothing gets done and still be proud of yourself.

Your productivity was never on the to-do list. 🤍

✅️Save this video for the days you need a different reminder.

🤍Stop “pushing through.”

Stop. Rest. Recharge.
Then continue.

Disappear to rest if you must.

Because this isn’t laziness.
It’s maintenance.

💬How much maintenance did you do this weekend, no judgement?

Loving people means knowing when you’re running on empty.
You can care deeply without depleting yourself.
Protecting your energy doesn’t make your love any less real, and being a little less available doesn’t mean you’re neglecting anyone. 💜

Life doesn’t have to be perfect before you let yourself enjoy it. 💜
Sometimes healing looks like finding joy right in the middle of the mess.

💬 What's that one little thing that made you smile today?
