I'm ready to leave the pain cave too. Time to dance, sing, laugh, and make our art, as well as March, Protest, and share our anger!

Love this essay! Can completely relate to the "pain cave party" metaphor after 15 years of seizures and 2 face breaks. My playlist for it is a little crazy-cathartic: https://open.spotify.com/track/4vyLEx3a8nCHXSobvGXh2B?si=2d9e1238f5a64e86

Something about all these women dancing and singing by the firelight . . .
