In the age of Spotify and AI slop, tapes remind us what we’re missing when we stop taking risks.
When you're chronically ill, the holidays can be lonely. Feelings of guilt are common. A look at how to set boundaries, support other disabled people and a reminder that you're never alone.
Social media generally slows down at the holidays. Why? Because people are celebrating and spending time with their families.
I’m not one of those people.
Why? Because I’m having another Chronic Illness Christmas.
When you’re disabled and chronically ill, the holidays hit different.
They’re lonely. Isolating. Exhausting.
As a result many of us are excluded and left on our own.
When I created The Disabled Ginger I wanted to build a community where everyone felt included.
I wanted to reach across the internet and connect people so they could always have someone to talk to. Someone who understood them. Someone who could make them feel a little less alone.
This Christmas that’s my wish for all of you… that you feel a little less alone.
That you find comfort and joy in the small things, whatever they may be.
If you’re healthy, please remember that not everyone is. That many people are suffering this Christmas and could use a kind word or a bit of love.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
Thank you for spending another year with me.
