No endo sister left behind

It wasn't until a few years ago that I began to really use my voice when it came to this disease. I really wanted those that were uneducated to understand, and I wanted those that had endometriosis to know that they weren't alone and to seek out true excision specialists. I was really honored and blessed to have spoken to school nurses last year on behalf of endowhat, it was a bit scary to be in a room full of strangers but after I spoke it made me want to change the world. So I tried reaching out for an upcoming event. I saw that a few people were talking on a panel and I was wondering well why not me? Well that blew up in my face because I was tossed aside. That honestly brought back so many memories.

When I was in middle school, I was bullied. I honestly had all of one or two friends at the most. No one stuck up for me. I was called penguin because when I walk one foot goes out a bit, not like I waddle but I thought it was completely normal. I was called banana because of the yellow winter jacket I wore one winter. I tried so hard to fit in and make friends but to be honest no one wanted to be friends with me back then. I feel like that rejection I just had brought me back. I just don't understand why I am the black sheep of this community. At the event I attended last year I spoke with  many women wishing that they had someone advocating for them and I even touched base with a mom who wants me to help her daughter.

I may not have my name on billboards, I may not be rich, I also may not have a huge following but if it’s one thing I’m good at and one thing I deserve it is to be heard. And if it’s not at the summit because I was shot down then that’s fine their loss. I’ll get my voice heard some other way. Honestly it just makes me want to up my game even more. You can break me and you sure as hell cant make me feel worthless. Not going to happen. This community shouldn’t shun people they should welcome everyone. That’s my mission. No endo sister left behind. So if you are feeling alone I’m here. I will listen.
