		<aboutMe>I&apos;m a 24 year old young lady. In November 2011 I was diagnosed with SLE- Lupus. It&apos;s a chronic autoimmune disease that I will be dealing with for the rest of my life. But my motto is &quot;Whatever doesn&apos;t kill me- can only make me stronger&quot; ...in the long run.

 So that&apos;s me, why I&apos;m here, blogging.

I love to exercise- especially Pilates and Yoga. I believe they are good for the body and the mind. I&apos;m very introspective, and tend to overthink everything. I am an in the moment- let&apos;&apos;s do it now kind of a person. Love it or hate it, that&apos;&apos;s who I am.

All of that is a bit harder since my diagnosis, and loss of use of my right leg- but I am regaining strength and taking control of my body one day at a time. 

I love people who know how to sit down, be real with you, and have a good conversation. It takes some time for me to trust people, but I think in this day and age- it should. 

I LOVE music. It is healing. Apparently I love writing, because each time I sit down to do a blog I just keep going and going! I really appreciate art- of almost any kind, and love to experience other people&apos;s feelings and thoughts. 

I&apos;m a pretty strong, stubborn, independent young lady... which can be good or bad at times. Right now, it&apos;s kind of bad since I have lost a bit of independence. 

ANYWAYS, hope you enjoy reading my blog. If you have any questions, complaints, tips, or concerns, please feel free to tell me!  Never hold anything in- it&apos;s bad for you :)
