  • I have had it for 11 years

    I have always loved Christina applegate while growing up but to know someone I wanted to be like has the same thing I do. Well it throws me for a loop. She’s right it freaking sucks! At 41 I shouldn’t be doing half the stuff I have to do until I’m 90! I feel like I lost alot and I lost a lot of friends.its not an easy disease to deal with. I envy all of you and I hope one day I can tell my story. 🧡
