I'm Tired
Not a whole lot of people can understand when you say, "I'm tired," what you really mean is you’re exhausted. You are too tired to stand for one more minute, your arms are too tired to hold a book up, and all you can do is stare at something because you're too tired to lie down. They won't understand that walking from the car to the house wears you out to the point you need to take a breather. Even though it seems like you barely did anything, you need to sit down on the couch and regain your strength. And most of all they don't understand when you say, "I'm tired," you mean tired of pretending to be okay to make other people feel more comfortable around you and tired of not having anyone understand what you’re going through.

Living With Scars
I have an easier time trusting someone who has scars than someone who has unblemished skin. I'm not sure what it is, but scars tell the stories of where you've been in life. And if you've gone through life unscathed then it is likely we won't have a great deal in common.

How To Be A Baddie: Series 2
Finally, we get to the part that you’ve probably been waiting for: the exercise regimen. As a whole, baddies are known for their beautiful hourglass figure: big boobs, little waist, and a round butt.

The bad news is it’ll take work to get there, but the good news is it can actually be pretty easy once you get into the groove of it all. Here are some helpful tips to achieve the baddie body of your dreams!

My Genetic Eyes
ADIE or ADIE syndrome is a rare genetic disorder in which one pupil is dilated and one is not; in some cases one dilated pupil might spread to both of the pupils. ADIE syndrome is known by many other things, such as Holmes-Adie syndrome, its acronym HAS; Adie's Pupil; and Tonic Eye. I have ADIE myself, and although there is no serious disability for me, little to no reaction to light poses a big problem in my world and at times will affect my ability to be able to see properly. Symptoms include blurry vision, the absence of deep tendon reflexes, and excessive sweating. I don't experience all three; luckily blurry vision is one I get most often. I don't sweat excessively and my reflexes are somewhat slow but still happen in general. Some individuals will also have cardiovascular abnormalities. The symptoms of ADIE syndrome can appear on their own, or in association with other diseases of the nervous system. I myself do have trouble breathing at times but I also have anxiety, so in my case it is not determined which one is causing my breathing issues.
