Sometimes I wish that I could do the things I used to. I sit and think how much fun I had before lupus. Sometimes it gets me down until something happens to shake me awake and show me how amazing life is, like genuine laughter, that makes me realize that I’m still here and I have every opportunity to continue making fun memories in the space I am in right now. Sometimes lupus tries to rob you of the happiness that never left in the first place. We have to be pushed back into reality in the most simplest ways. Lupus has nothing on your happiness even in pain that joy can come. Don’t ignore the joy beyond lupus, allow it to overtake you. #LupusInColor
