a place for healing, acceptance, and navigating chronic illness

About Me

Hello there. It’s me, B.B. trying to get my feet off the ground when they’re rooted in deep and entangled with rocks. As all humans, I am many things, but right now lupus, POTS, and an airborne latex allergy seem to define who I am and what I am worth. For a while, my worth was found through my nursing career. I found meaning in helping others. See, I’m a child of a narcissist- the scapegoat version. I didn’t inherit the Golden Child Gene; I seem to have the codependent, self-sacrificing genes.

I’ve lived through more than I should have. I’ve almost died on several occasions. My life has been one obstacle after another other, and it never stops coming. I’ve lived in survival mode for so long that I don’t know any other way to exist.

I started this blog originally to bring awareness to my illnesses and latex allergy. That goal has shifted and morphed into something else. My blog will be about healing my body, writing what comes to me, and hopefully helping other people through my experiences. 

With love, 

B.B.
