My name is obviously not Holly, but I read this beautiful letter anyway. Now I’m feeling a bit naughty responding to this 😅 but I can’t help myself. Your words are a great reminder that even though we endure tough daily battles with ME, there are also some wonderful gifts. I’ve felt almost euphoric while watching a butterfly, or listening to the birds, or feeling the warmth of the sun. I’m so grateful to be still long enough to absorb this wonder on my good days. It’s unlikely I would’ve noticed if I were well and too busy to stop. However, the most precious gifts are the friends I’ve made who also have ME and have similar artistic interests. They’re kind and compassionate kindred spirits, that I know for a fact, I would never have met if it weren’t for having this horrid ME. So yeah, I just wanted to thank you for reminding me that life’s not ALL bad 🙏💙
