All I want for Christmas is a body that doesn’t hurt 80% of the time, and I’m 24. A body that can go for walks without taking opiate pain meds. And to see my brother with a body that can do that, and see him spend all day on his Xbox and laptop hurts me deeply. He’s able to move without it hurting and he chooses not to, when that’s the thing I want the most in life, to move without needed pain medication. There are days I cannot even walk to the bathroom without crying, and there are days he chooses not to move except for snacks.
