An Open Letter to Lady Gaga

Dear Lady Gaga,

I must say, thank you. Thank you for showing the world a side of chronic pain that no one (other than us sufferers) sees.

Thank you for exposing an intimate part of yourself to the ridicule and judgement of the public. People are so cruel, especially those that don’t understand. More specifically, those that don’t want to.

I have a huge respect for you, for what you do, for how you do it. I feel like your new album Joanne is a homage to us chronic illness warriors. You sing, so beautifully, about the struggles that each of us faces. You put into words and music and song the pains and fights we have to go through each day.

It feels like your Joanne is bringing all of  chronic illness warriors together. Connecting us through distance, pains, aches, frustration, through good times and bad. Bringing us all together, giving us all a million reasons to keep moving forward.

First and foremost, you are the most important person in your life. So take care of you.
