the above photos are me, when i was 16 years old and newly diagnosed with ehlers-danlos syndrome, gastroparesis, fibromyalgia, tachycardia, scoliosis, and arthritis.
"friends." when i got sick, they were nowhere around. they didnt want to or couldnt deal with my conditions. so i turned to youtube. pewdie was the most "popular" at the time, so of course he was the first one i turned to since i was familiar with him. this period in my life was definitely the hardest, and when nothing or no one could make me laugh, his videos did.
for two years, i have continued to watch his videos, no matter how healthy or sick i became. now, im 19 and a half years old, unable to work, but able to do household work and in a committed relationship, looking forward to the future, but one thing has never changed. my boyfriend and i watching pewdie's videos every night before bed. Thank you, Pewdiepie.
