I'm not making any promises about this being a prolific blogging experience for either of us. I just felt the need to process my journey with Lupus in a way that didn't burden my family and friends. Because as much as they try, they can't completely understand. And, as much as I try, if I don't get it out some way, too much of my conversation becomes about Lupus and, by default, about me. Not a good feeling. For anyone.
I don't write to in an effort to gain sympathy. I write to process. I write for catharsis. I write for community. I write to encourage - myself and others.
