Everyone is running. It’s nearly the end. Buildings are crashing and wildlife is burning. The whole world is crashing right in front of my eyes yet I stand so still. Everything feels like it is moving faster than it actually is, but for some reason I feel like I’m moving in slow motion. People are screaming and crying but I can’t hear a thing. I feel so numb. The only thing I am capable of moving are my eyes.

How Being Sick Changed My Life
In January of 2020, I got really sick. It was the sickest I've ever been in my entire life. I called my primary provider to speak with a nurse just to get ahead of some of the symptoms I was experiencing.This was a feeling I have never felt before and it affected every part of my body. I had internal and external pain, and severe headaches. It got to a point where I had to take myself to emergency care. They had no idea what it was, and neither did anyone I shared this with. This severe pain lasted for about two weeks and I still went to work and school. I had no business going to either place, knowing I was incapable of standing up longer than 2 minutes.
