I don’t discuss my lupus for pity, sympathy, or attention. I don’t discuss lupus to be judged and talked about. I talk about lupus because it’s a huge part of my life whether I like it or want it to be or not. I talk about it to help others, to help myself cope, to educate, to inform and provide support to those who feel alone and lonely in their fight. I won’t stop speaking about lupus, please don’t ask me to. Believe me when I say, if I could focus on something else I would, but the reality is it is my duty to spread awareness, support and encouragement in order for me to heal! #LupusInColor
