I refer to you as warriors, and rightfully so. Individuals navigating chronic illness exhibit remarkable bravery amidst fear and the relentless unpredictability that characterizes their lives. You embody compassion and a relentless pursuit of positivity, even when faced with unkindness or exclusion. You smile through adversity and share laughter to soothe the discomfort felt by those around you, often while grappling with your own internal struggles. The emotional landscape you traverse is rich and complex, one that many may only glimpse once or twice in their lifetime.
However, there are moments when these warriors may feel like a burden. Whether stemming from an offhand remark from a family member or an uninformed post on social media, these feelings can strike deep. They may whisper harshly, “You are not enough. You are different in a negative way. You are not fulfilling the expectations of those you love or society.”
In those challenging times, it becomes essential to confront such negative thoughts. We must not allow the misguided perceptions of a few to take root in our minds. As author Max Lucado wisely states, “You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.” This notion reminds us of our inherent worth as human beings, a truth we must embrace.
It is undeniable that feelings of inadequacy or being a burden will arise at various points in our journeys. What matters is our response to these feelings. Society often equates worth with productivity and contribution, readily judging those who do not meet conventional standards of activity. Yet, it is crucial to remember that our circumstances were not chosen by us—they were thrust upon us. We contribute to the greater good in ways that extend beyond societal norms. Sometimes, our most significant contribution is simply being who we are.
Do not squander invaluable moments feeling like a burden. If we could change our realities, we certainly would. Instead, let us support one another and enlighten those who hold misconceptions. Should the term “burden” creep into our thoughts, let us swiftly replace it with “warrior.”
Stay strong and resilient,
Your Fellow Warrior
