So I am making today Positive Sunday :) Why? Because although this isn't the first post for 2015, I wanted to make it the first one to spark a change.
Eczema isn't fun, it's not easy and it takes a lot of work to keep it under control. That is just a simple fact and it does happen where no matter how hard you try, there will be a flare up.
Flare Up's are far from a party, and I'm sure everyone can understand that they make you feel less than impressive!
I know that personally, I am always apologising for my eczema and allergies. For example, when I eat out, the sentence usually starts with: I'm sorry, I have allergies to _____ so could you please _____.
Why do we have to apologise for a fact of life? We shouldn't have to, but continue to do so as we believe that having these health issues causes inconvenience for others. Whilst it may in certain situations, we shouldn't have to apologise for it!
So lets make 2015 the year of no apologies. I will no longer apologise for making staff aware that they have to take extra caution around my meals. I will not apologise for not looking perfect when I go to work or uni because my skin is flaring. I will not apologise for having to do things differently because of my conditions!
What will you not apologise for in 2015? Let me know below!
yyyaaaaasssss
