Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with what would one day become my reason for becoming an esthetician 💜
This day has been approaching me with a heaviness I didn't know I could ever feel. At eleven years old, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. It's now been eleven years since that day.

I didn't know what that meant for me at the time. All I knew was One Direction was my favorite band, and Zayn had just left a week prior. I didn't even know what Crohn's Disease was. Or anything it would lead to.

I didn't know it would lead to chronic pain. I didn't know it would lead to isolation. I didn't know it would lead to hospital stays and Make A Wish trips and monthly injections.

Specifically, I didn't know it would lead to the development of Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Chronic illness sucks. Skin disorders suck. But in the end, I'm in a way glad for it. Because now... I have my why.

I never had a dream job growing up (outside of wanting to be Hannah Montana). I never knew exactly what it was I would spend my life doing. Nothing ever really sang to me, and as I am neurodivergent, every time I would decide on something, it would turn out to just be my latest hyper fixation.

The older I got, the more confused I felt. Everyone around me wanted to be nurses or teachers or firefighters. Me? I didn't know what book I wanted to read next.

But then, one day, it hit me. I never had anyone to confide in about my skin problems. Really, any time I had told someone, they looked at me like I was crazy and/or gross. But even though I didn't have anyone, what was to stop me from becoming that person for the next boyband-obsessed little girl?

So, all of that to say, while you absolutely suck, I'm kind of glad for you, Crohn's Disease. You gave me a reason and helped me find my purpose. So, on one hand, I want to say screw you. On the other hand, thank you. 💜
