Awareness. Acceptance. Advocacy
We all map our bodies at a young age. Our brains and bodies draw boundaries to protect us from foreign invaders both externally and internally. For me, autism has afforded me with the ability to be ultra-sensitive to when those boundaries are crossed but you don’t have to be autistic to be in conversation with what your body is telling you.
Autism informs most of how I experience life. It’s not all of who I am, but the reality is that it is a big part of how I experience With that being said there are a few ways that it has impacted my battle with cancer this far.
2020 has taught me the delicate balance between contentment and complacency. It’s taught me that I don’t have to be unaware of trouble but I can be unbothered by it.
God your promises are true and I believe that you have more work for me to do and more life for me to live. Cancer free life. A healthy life. A purpose filled life. This is your covenant promise and I stand on it and believe it in Jesus name.
