I'm just Kate 🤷‍♀️

It's a shame not to see @davidwilliamsmp.bsky.social in this list... I would be really interested to hear your thoughts, sir.

I honestly don't know, as Starmer seems to be trying to appease Trump by making him feel special - question is, is it the obvious parental tactic to quash a tantrum, or is it for real? I hope so much it's the former...

There are times when you're alone And all you can think about is the life You're not living. The life you once had, and dreamed of having. The future stolen and the grief of here and now. Somewhere, in an alternate dimension You're laughing and living your best life. Meanwhile here, and now, you're most definitely Not. But, somewhere, through the fog and the haze, You begin to see tiny cracks of light. Light that creates dancing silhouettes of joy. The sound of birdsong echoes through the Chasm of darkness. Distant whispers of the world around you, Living and breathing. The faint beating heart of life Begins to fill your veins With love. With hope. A new beginning, a rebirth, A new dawn on the horizon Comes into focus. There is light. There is life. You breathe it in. The cold, fresh energy Fills your lungs, And you feel it spread to every Little part of you. Bit by bit, this life Envelops your soul. Your eyes, wide with wonder Search for answers. But your heart already knows. This life, this light, this joy, It's yours. It was yours all along. You just misplaced it For a while, Whilst you battled for survival. But it was there all along And always will be

Feeling the hope & light on this March day. ✌️💜

Exactly this! It's the bare minimum we should have, I'm so pleased you've got someone fighting your corner too x

Yay! So chuffed for you 🥳 I hope this makes your quality of life so much better, it's so deserved!

Beautiful! 😍 I'm so proud of you for getting to the window, what a nice reward of a view!

Poem on a purple water colour background reads Let Them (Kate's Version) Let them love you, like they always have Let them help you, when things are bad Let them see you, however you are Let them hold you, when you bare your scars Let them know you, the one ‘you’ you hide Let them join you, on this crazy ride Let them be them, without condition Let them shield you, from life's attrition Let them be there, through thick and through thin Let them be real, and safe in their skin Let them be them, and let you be you Let the truth be, and love will shine through 2.1.25 I'm Just Kate 🤷‍♀️

A dear friend of mine helped me see things from another perspective. I was hurt, resentful & feeling abandoned, as people continued with their lives & mine stood still. We discussed the Let Them theory, but I realised the role I played in it all too. I was unfair to put it all on them.

Jess, thank you so much for writing & sharing such a vulnerable post. I feel i may be at a similar junction & your post brought me comfort in the sad reminder that we're not alone in this. As much as we may feel abandoned & neglected by medical profs, life, & society. We're in this together 💜

Happy new year people, here's to a mild & gentle 2025 💜✨️

You too lovely 🙏

My xmas has now been made 😍 thank you 🙏

Sending gentle hugs - I'm really pleased you've had your auntie round to keep you fed & watered too. Being a bio female sucks when it comes to all these things. Stayed with my dad for a week last week, I was so well looked after, it made such a difference 🥹

Thank you 🥰 just had a rest, you know how it goes... Hope you're doing OK?🙏

Well, I shall ensure to post him more! My hubby also set up @toby-dog-and-bri.bsky.social where it's Toby galore! 😍 I haven't been on here in a few weeks, thank you for making me feel welcome to be back 🙏

Have an awesome Xmas Brian, you bring so much joy & creativity to an otherwise bland & dull landscape in a life of ME/CFS. You inspired me to write again, so thank you for that too 🙏

Bed head! You know my brain fog kept this word from me today, couldn't fot the life of me remember this word 😅 he is just so cute, isn't he? Keeps me going 💜

Tiny Toby is sat looking unimpressed & his fur is all scruffled from being asleep.

Toby isn't impressed that I accidentally woke him from a power nap... 😏🤭 I know how you feel pal #TinyToby #ME/CFS #pwME

This is horrific! Yet again 😪

Thank you! He's my absolute world 🌎 💓

I feel this in my soul 🥹

This is Tiny Toby 😍 a 3kg Yorkie we rescued when he was 14 months old. An absolute diva, but we wouldn't change him for the world! Your lil baby is SO adorable btw 😍

It's a scam! 😏🤣🙃

Dogs are the best!! My little guy knows when I need to nap & also when I'm sad & need snugs. I know not entirely medical, but he just gets me & accepts me 🥹

Thanks so much, gratefully received 🙏

This is so important. So grateful to those who were involved 🙏💜

I'm just grateful to have made it through this year tbh. Became moderate-severe & lost almost everything but finally gained a diagnosis at least 🤷‍♀️

💯🥹
