Never apologize for your anger. The clouds spit their anger at us, the waves beat it into our souls. Water is angry and unapologetic. You are nature. You are water. You are angry. (The royal you in that I am angry too)

This made my heart ache. I do struggle with chronic illness that does involve a low level of pain, but reading this makes me want to scream on behalf of you and everyone else who suffers to this degree. That on top of this hellish pain you also have to worry about making a living, and paying for trying to make your life more bearable is indeed barbaric. Every day I have to breathe through the anger of knowing that a better world is SO POSSIBLE but the greed of people in power will not allow it. You deserve better. We all deserve better.

This is painful & powerful. I do hope that despite (or in spite) of all of this you always keep writing because we need your voice. 🙌🏻

So poignant, so beautifully written. woof! this resonated with me! I am lucky in that I do not have chronic pain, but my husband has severe chronic back pain and we've spent years and lots of money trying to get relief for him. I too dream of a world where our tax dollars are used for something other than death and destruction.
