I’ve been trying to figure out how to start this post for days. How do I perfectly introduce myself? How do I capture everyone’s attention? How do I make people care? All these questions have become hurdles to what I have wanted to do: write. I have a passion for writing, but I also wanted to share my experience for those who may be going through similar experiences. I suppose for this to happen, I have to start at the beginning. Hi. I'm Amaya and I am a 23 year old who loves to write, act, explore, and create. I could go on and on for days, but what I really want to do with this is create awareness, so I am not just going to touch on the good things. I am going to try and share the challenges too. At 19, I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, dysautonomia, and an unknown autoimmune disease.
I am not going to sit here and pretend that I am an expert on all things chronic illness, but I want to share so that others with similar experiences know they are not alone. I don't want to be afraid to share my voice. So here I am... welcoming you to my platform where I will share things that I am passionate about.
Welcome to ALPS Creative Co.
One day at a time,
Amaya
