To begin, I'm sure many to all of you know I am a chronically ill disabled streamer. I have a ton of health issues, and they sadly aren't going anywhere. Despite that many to most people I meet find me to be a very happy and outgoing person. Most would never suspect the things I struggle with. That's why posts like this mean so much to mean and feel so empowering. I can't put things like this into words very well but this here post absolutely did that for me.

Now I am sharing it with the world because it means so much to me!

Let’s talk about the fight between our image/brand vs our offline reality as a chronically ill content creator.

It’s not to say the person on the left isn’t truly who I am. She’s the girl screaming inside of me to be freed from the shackles of this ill body. She’s the thing that makes me fight each and every day. I wish I could be this version of myself every day, but that’s something I am incapable of due to the state of my health.
