💫 • D I S C H A R G E D A Y • 💫 after nearly a month between wards, surgeries, icu • this is a *happy for today* photo • I leave hospital with more than I bargained for, but I’m alive • I leave hospital with a mammoth uphill climb ahead of me, but I’m alive • I leave hospital with the biggest advocates and support system a girl could ask for on 3 separate continents and it’s going to keep me alive .

✖️• F U R T H E R L A T E R A L •✖️ (unrequested, unrequited, universal f**kery coming on down the pike) • movements it would seem are on the unwanted horizon •|• and I feel like I’m on one of those wheelie chairs that keep being kicked around the room just to see how far into the corners it can reach before changing direction • with a jokes not now but soon vibe {and maybe not even then • and then some whilst wanting to tear your hair out screaming in tears and frustration} all the while hoping there’s a mistake somewhere .
