'What people don’t realize is, despite how I may appear on the outside, pain is my constant companion. I take 31 pills to manage 12 different diagnoses that have no cure and very little treatment.' This is what 'invisible illness' looks like:
I hear this sentence easily ten times a week. I’ve even heard people yell at me in public for parking in a handicapped spot, saying I should be ashamed for “stealing my grandmother’s pass.”
Pageants have helped me to see my own beauty, and they’ve given me a platform to share that realization. When I’m on stage, I don’t hide my illness. In the swimsuit or lifestyle portion of pageants, I proudly show the 25-inch scar that runs from the top of my neck all the way down my back. And during the talent competition, I walk onstage in a hospital gown, loosely sewn together. My scar is visible as I deliver a monologue about overcoming my medical challenges and the challenges of others.
