Despite everything, I’ve found light in the cracks. EDS may try to pull me apart, but I refuse to fall to pieces. My story isn’t about what I’m missing—it’s about what I’ve gained: resilience, resourcefulness, and an unapologetic will to survive. So, the next time life knocks me down, I’ll get up—probably with a limp and a sarcastic comment—but I’ll get up. After all, even without glue, I’m still whole.
