you can trust the signals your body is sending you. whatever physical symptom you're experiencing is real. your pain, fatigue, weakness, numbness, unsteadiness, malaise, dizziness, nausea - all of it is real. i believe you. even if you, doctors, friends, or family dont. i believe you.

you should have never had the idea that you cannot be the authority on your own body put in your head. you are the only person on this planet who can convey what you are going through. no one has the right to take that from you. please believe in and advocate for yourself. and know you deserve to have someone advocating for you, too.

you are a whole person, and your fatness and health concerns are morally neutral. they're natural.

Their wedding falls onto the backburner, Leia's health being the utmost priority.
