Once upon a time when I felt confident in my own skin I loved dressing up. I loved a good party with music and dancing too. My illness destroyed all that for me long ago. But as I put on the finishing touches before heading out the door to celebrate with one of my oldest and dearest friends and her beautiful family at the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter tonight, a night I’ve had in my calendar for over a year now, I am not going to allow the distorted reflection I see staring back at me in the mirror hold my mind hostage this evening or try and ruin my night by spreading vicious lies or untruths.
I am also taking some backup ammunition with me as well tonight to help try and avoid a wicked flare-up from happening to my body this evening which is most likely to occur from all the loud and amplified noises in the room and vibrations from the music (just one of the many fun neurological issues I now live with daily since my treatment last April).
