Opening Lines

‘To my chronic illness, from the person who is glad to finally know your name.

Dear Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome,

Oh, hi there. I didn’t notice you for 25 plus years. Where were you hiding? My connective tissue? Well, I guess I wasn’t expecting that. I was working on the assumption that if there was a problem with my collagen that I’d melt into the ground like some sort of disappointing candle on a hot windowsill.’
