A Parent’s Worst Nightmare: My Son’s Battle After a Drunk Driving Accident

Last night, our world turned upside down when my son was struck by a drunk driver. Now, as I sit by his side in the children’s hospital, I’m overwhelmed by fear, anger, and gratitude for every breath he takes. No parent should ever have to watch their child fight for recovery because of someone else’s reckless choice. I’m holding onto hope and faith, leaning on the support of friends and family, and praying for his healing. Please, let’s remember the real consequences of drunk driving—it changes lives in an instant. If you’ve ever faced something similar, how did you find strength?

I Didn’t Know Pain Could Feel Like Control

The first night with my tongue piercing, I tried to eat soup and nearly cried. It wasn’t the pain—well, not just the pain. It was how careful I had to be, how every bite felt like a test I was failing. I told myself it was just healing, but honestly, I liked the excuse to eat less, to only pick at soft, bland things. I liked the way hunger made me feel sharp, in control, even as my mouth throbbed and my stomach ached. Every morning, I’d check the swelling in the mirror, half-proud, half-ashamed. I wanted the piercing to mean something, to be proof I could handle discomfort, that I could change my body and live with the consequences. But mostly, I just felt tired. Tired of pretending the pain was some kind of freedom. #BodyStory #BeautyBurnout #HealingHurts #Beauty

The Night I Couldn't Swallow the Truth

I sat at the kitchen table, picking at cold rice, rehearsing the words in my head. My parents were in the next room, laughing at some TV show. I wondered if they’d still laugh if they knew how much it hurt to eat in front of them. I wanted to tell them everything—the counting, the hiding, the fear that every meal was a test I was failing. But I kept thinking, what if they don’t understand? What if they think it’s just a phase, or worse, their fault? I told myself I’d wait for the right moment. But the truth is, there’s never a right moment to say, "I don’t know how to eat without hating myself." Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t asking for help. It’s admitting you need it. #FoodGuilt #NotJustAboutTheScale #ControlIsExhausting #Health #Diet
