Day Twenty Five:
My favorite motto, scripture, or quote that gets me through tough times is...
Well I can't pick just one...
I have a board on my pinterest specifically for endometriosis. It's filled with quotes, sayings, and snarky comments that help me through the loneliness of a chronic illness.
My favorite is probably this one:
Tramadol is my painkiller of choice and I have a deep rooted love for ice cream.
Then there's this one:
And this one really cracks me up
(I feel like this often, primarily during physical exams)
Lately there's been research done to determine if endometriosis is an autoimmune disease. I certainly think it is, so I find this image to be rather funny:
Funny images aside, my favorite quote (or poem, rather) is from a movie called The Grey, starring the lovely Liam Neeson. The poem goes:
Once more into the fray
into the last good fight I'll ever know
live and die on this day
live and die on this day
I cannot properly express why I love this poem so much. It makes me think of war, of bravery, of love, and of acceptance. For some reason that I cannot understand, this poem is beautiful and touching and I love it. It was on my mind before surgery, and it gives me the strength to pull myself together and soldier on.
Last, but not least, are Freddy Newandyke's words in my favorite movie Reservoir Dogs.
"Don't pussy out on me now. They don't know. They don't know shit. You're
not gonna get hurt. You're fucking Barretta. They believe every fucking
word 'cause you're super cool."
This, my friends, is what keeps me going.
