Find your Tribe

Finding those few perfect products that give your natural curls long lasting definition is hard, right? Finding great, long lasting, friends is even harder, girl. But finding a tribe who may not know WTF you’re talking about when you’re venting, but are 100% down to support you no matter what, is important.

When I was diagnosed with this condition, I found it very difficult to speak to people. I became even more reclusive than I already was (sb: I’m a water sign; don’t judge me.)
Understandably, no one knew of the condition and wanted me to thoroughly explain what it is. It didn’t help that my own Doctor didn’t seem to know what we were dealing with.
Also, when you research the condition, you see that it is supposed to affect women who’ve already had children, women going through menopause, and/or women over 40/50. I do not fall under any of those categories. So having to explain this to people vs their Google research was a little frustrating for awhile. I also had to come to terms with the fact that I do not fit into a medical box. I am not a basic Google search. 
 
There are a handful of key people in my life, whom have made it a priority to consistently check on me and see how I am doing. Even those whom I don’t speak to on a daily-basis. They may not know everything or have an immediate answer, but they sure do try and I love that shit. My tribe have taken my issues to their personal doctors in hopes of new/different feedback. My tribe sends me links. My tribe is doing the most, and that’s the way it should go. If your tribe don’t go hard for you and your uterus, get you some new friends.

I honestly didn’t expect this from people, we all have a life to live, but I’m so much more grateful for them. Thank you, all. You know who you are.
