I've called this blog: MuSings
Of A Wounded spirit for several reasons. You probably noticed
(you smart intelligent reader) that the M and the S is capitalized
for some reason. This is because I have been diagnosed and been
treated for a disease called Multiple Sclerosis. It is not a
terminal disease, and I am expected to live an average life
expectancy. What MS does is steal little bits of your life day by
day. Sometimes you don't even notice it, other days it grabs a big
handful of your life and carts it off. I am currently unable to work
due to a common symptom of MS, which is fatigue. So at the ripe age
of 34 (the age I am when I start this blogging journey) I am trying
to find a niche for my life, some way to feel useful and contribute
to society.
I've also added the wounded
spirit part because another
common side effect of MS is Depression. It's not just sadness, just
like fatigue isn't just tiredness. It can be more crippling than the
bouts of paralysis that every so often I endure. I'm also a lesbian
and so daily I have to endure assaults on my ego and self worth from
an uneducated public regarding how wrong and evil I am because I have
“chosen” this “lifestyle”. I put chosen in quotes because
the masses would have you fooled in believing that any gay person has
the choice and lifestyle because if you read on there isn't much of a
style to my life other than the daily grind of living that most of us
humans go through.
I hope
you enjoy my blog and I hope I enjoy writing it, otherwise this is
going to become and exercise in how to waste both of our time!
