Devotional blog dedicated to the Goddess Sigyn offering support to those who are "holding the bowl" within difficult relationships.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
Not feeling sick “enough”
Never compare yourself to anyone, in any part of life. Your struggle is not someone else’s struggle. Even if you have the same diagnosis, it will not treat you both the same and you will not react the same to it. Your symptoms will not be equal, nor will your treatment. When you have the flu, you are not less ill because someone else somewhere has cancer. You are still sick and still need to be taken care of and treated. Not attempting suicide doesn’t mean you’re not depressed “enough”. Not stealing a car & having 17 sexual partners in a night doesn’t mean you’re not manic “enough”. You are you and you deserve to be taken care of and to be OK.
