Fuck those assholes, Devon! This is your journey, not theirs. It’s easy for people to hang out on the sidelines and give you generic advice, but “stop complaining “ is not advice. It is a way for them to minimize your experience, and girl, that ain’t okay. Here’s the upside: the fact they feel compelled to minimize your experience is strong evidence that what you are experiencing is legitimate and makes them uncomfortable. Keep using your voice! And, of course, Fuck those people.
As someone with many chronic illnesses, and a love for running which I haven’t been able to do for ~6 years because of said illnesses, I find a lot of inspiration from you and your journey. It’s rare to see someone so accomplished also battle chronic illness, and it gives me hope that I too will be able to do what I love, and feel that part of me, once again. I would love to hear more about your chronic illness journey and I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one to gain from it — but I also respect your right to be private bc there are a lot of assholes out there! Keep doing what you’re doing — rooting for you all the way. I will miss your daily vlogs, too, once FURTHER ends! Thanks for being so brave.
