Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone!
Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all.

One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up".

I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let me tell you something, get those people out of your life. You do not need that negativity. You have yourself and your health to focus on. And if they feel the need to act immature and selfish, that is their problem. Not yours.

The reason why I am making this blog post is I have been extremely sick lately. This semester has been horrible and honestly if it was not for my family constantly being by my side and a handful of friends, I really have no idea where I would be right now. That is how bad it has been.

When you are constantly in pain and your body is in overdrive, you do not know how to stay grounded. With the support of family and friends, they help you stay grounded. At times it is extremely difficult for them. They do not want to see you suffer. They wish they could take away the pain. They feel helpless. But they are still there for you. They are patient with you and they love you. These are the people that you need to keep in your life. Not the people that could care less about your health. Those people need to work on themselves.

Something that I have always struggled since I was diagnosed with Endometriosis is finding good friends to support me. My family has always been there for me no matter what. But I am only 20 years old. A majority of my friends are going through their own stuff. But if they were truly my friends, they would still be there for me. Even when I am in pain, I am always there for my friends. They deserve the absolute best and I will forever be grateful for the few that have stayed with me.

Find yourself your own support group. Whether it is your friends or family or a chronic pain community. Anything that can give you the support you need to live a normal life.

It is really hard having chronic pain. There has been so many issues that honestly need to be addressed. That is one of the many reasons why I am doing these blog posts. I want to spread awareness into the world. People with chronic pain can live a normal life. But if we do not have the support and guidance to help us, it is extremely difficult.

I really want these posts to be an open discussion for everyone. Even if you do not have chronic pain or you know someone who does, these posts are for you as well. If any of you would like to just talk or share your story, please DM me on my instagram at sophia-milagros.Or you can write your story in the comments below.

I hope you all enjoyed this blog post and I hope you all have a happy holidays!
Have a wonderful day/night wherever you are!
Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Must Have Nail Polish for Spring!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...

January Random Favorites 2015!

Hello Everyone! It is my first favorites blog post of the new year! How exciting! So January was not a good month at all for me. I was extremely sick and I was getting back to college and  I moved dorm rooms so I was adjusting to that as well, so that is why I don't have any make up favorites. I started wearing make up and playing with make up during the last month of January so all the make up that I have been loving will be in my next favorites. But January was all about movies and TV shows. My first favorite of the month and the biggest favorite in January was Reign. If you love Vampire Diaries. You will love this show. Reign is just ..... no words can even describe how good it is. It is about Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and how she has to marry Prince Francis of France, soon to be the king of France. The whole show is based on what happens in the castle between Francis and Mary as well as France and Scotland. This show is filled with passion, danger and streng...
