I am an extrovert, an optimist, an academic, a scholar, a professor, a glorified nerd, an author, a vegan, an amateur photographer, happy, a liberal, a lover of life, an advocate for equality, an advocate for animals, an admirable Scrabble opponent, an InstaGramer, adventurous, sarcastic at times, an iPad addict, a wannabe yogi, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, and a sufferer of chronic pain.
I love coffee, walking along the ocean, good conversation, my family, my friends, my two rescue cats, taking pictures, exploring the world around me, learning new things, road trips, traveling, animals, to laugh, having new experiences, yoga, cupcakes, yummy vegan food, Thai food, sushi, Cafe Gratitude, concerts, the ocean, sea creatures, celebrating taco Tuesday, meeting new people, having new experiences, and life.
I am happiness. I am sunshine. I am love.
Being Sarah
Today I am unbelievably frustrated by my pain. The throbbing and stabbing pain that is radiating through my back and down into my tailbone is driving me freaking insane. Most days I can put on my game face, work, smile, and get through the day. However, today I am just plain pissed off at my pain.
I know that the pain is part of me, but it feels like some external force that decided to designate my body as its home. And today, I am absolute infuriated at my body’s unwelcome tenant.
Somedays my game face goes to shit, and I just need to show the world my pain. Luckily, I am home alone today and only have leave the house for a checkup with my doctor, who will be getting an ear-full about my pain and anger, so I can wallow as much as I need to without someone trying to intrude.
The last thing I need to hear today is “you can do this,” “it will get better,” or “just grin and bear it.” However, since no one is around and I pay my doctor not to say such things, I won’t have to slap a b**ch.
P.S. I use the term b**ch as a gender neutral term of anger. I am a liberal feminist, and my educational focus is within the social sciences. I would never use it to express the negative connotations associated with the word.
