do you ever just want to scream and yell at the top of your lungs so it fees like someone hears you? so much is going on and i'm trying to keep my head up and act like i'm getting through it when in all reality i'm really not . i've been having all sorts of health issues for a couple months now , i've had abnormal bleeding and pains that i was concerned about but every time i went to the hospital for it they kept telling me it was hormones. i wasn't getting any answers that made sense , then i started getting really bad blood clots the size of my hand and i was getting more worried . so i finally decided to make an appointment with a specialist a obgyn. my first appointment was on the 1st of this year, good way to start off 2021 right ? well i told the dr everything going on and he told me its definitely not hormones and something more. they ran so many test that day and took 24 tubes of blood. then I had to wait another few weeks for answers. i got 2 calls back saying i had two really bad infections in my body so they sent me meds to clear those up first . January 20th was the next appointment the one we go over all the results and hopefully get some answers to everything going on . they scheduled an ultrasound for me that morning as well. me and ultrasounds never had good luck the last time i had one i found out my sweet pea had no heartbeat, it nearly destroyed me , so i was pretty emotional going in there and getting it done i had a little breakdown but i got through it and let the nurse do her thing. when that finished i went into another room and waited for the dr. which felt like forever . i was getting more and more nervous i'm pretty good about detecting when bad news is coming and i was nothing but right . dr sandler walked in with a nurse who was holding a box a tissues, so in that moment i felt frozen. if they need tissues for me something must really be wrong. he sat down next to me and i looked at him and told him to not sugar coat anything give it to me straight. the ultrasound showed a huge cyst in my uterus that's causing a blockage on my lining which is causing the blood clots in my body. he told me it needs to be removed as soon as possible in which ill be having a surgery and ill be sedated. which that scared me but i didn't shed a tear yet i was staying strong and just trying to listen to every word and understand as best as i could. he said there were other little cyst and something else called appolic in my uterus as well, which they were so small to see he wasn't to worried about it. then he said i have protein S in my urine which is causing my kidneys to be damaged and on the urge of failing. i was holding back the tears and fighting the tight feeling i had in my throat to not burst out in tears. my body was so tense i didn't wanna move. he asked if i was okay and i told him to just continue please.... the next part broke me , he asked me if i still was trying to get pregnant? i told him yes ...he looked at me and told me for my best interest i shouldn't ..i didn't understand i started crying and the nurse sat down next to me and grabbed my hand, dr sandler said if i ever tried to conceive or carry it would kill me . my kidneys and other organs would shut down. so having a baby is not in my story anymore....no one i mean no one will ever understand the pain that shot through my body and the silent tears that followed. i couldn't be strong anymore i wanted to scream . being a mom is something iv dreamt of since i was a little girl taking care of my siblings and everyone else. it was supposed to happen for me, i was supposed to have a little boy and his name was supposed to be leviathan then i was supposed to have a little girl and name her amelia jayne, this is was supposed to be my story . i was supposed to be a mom! i was supposed to have the most precious gift on this earth! what am i supposed to do now ? whats my purpose in my life anymore... its killing me and i'm lost more than ever. i wake up every night at 2:17 and cry , i wake up again and again and the nightmares of the visit stay in my head. i cant sleep anymore i haven't slept since the drs visit! how do you accept something that wasn't supposed to happen? i'm so mad at god and people telling me i'm going to be fine ! how do they know that.. i feel like a ticking time bomb just ready to explode and lose it all. kidneys damaged, no babies, cyst, surgery, it was all playing in my head over and over . is this my story now. to wait for my kidneys to fail, to wait for my lupus to hit the rest of my main organs. i'm scared, i'm terrified, i'm sad, and mad and every emotion that describes not happy . i taking this all one day at time but its not easy, waiting for this surgery date is nerve racking , i feel like i have no control over my own body anymore. lupus is taking over my life for the first time in 9 years i feel like its winning and i'm losing . this is the only place i can truly express myself and write how i truly feel with no judgement or disappointment ! i guess we wait and see what happens next ..... i need to find some kind of hope again.... ;/

Who am I Supposed to Be?
I'm sitting here an every time i write something i slowly delete it. it's like i don't know or i forgot how to write what I'm feeling most and it scares me so much, I'm sitting here with a hurt heart and an emotion of anger. i feel like everyday I'm fighting to be a better me and some days i succeed and some days i fail. i fight an everyday battle not only with my lupus but with myself and my bi polar . its like i turn into someone i was supposed to be past but have no control of. i want to change that but what steps do i take ? i feel like I'm losing myself again and the person i fought to be for months and I'm trying my best to keep this smile across my face and show everyone I'm trying and I'm happy . but how do you tell someone you feel like your dying inside ? how do you tell someone your losing yourself? i don't wanna feel like anyone's burden, i don't wanna feel like I'm disappointing people when I'm supposed to be someone people look up to and follow as a leader. i feel like a failure .... I'm sitting here on the edge of my bed with a bottle of tequila wondering why i think drinking is okay at a time of hurt ? I'm sitting here thinking of 3 years ago when i almost took my own life and gave it all up..what was i thinking ...why would i think giving up was an option in my life? why could i be so selfish ...is it wrong to be tired? is it wrong to want to appear as weak for a split moment in time ? i started this blog to show the real me and the struggles and accomplishments of being warrior ...but why is it i feel like this warrior cant do wrong without being look down upon. on top of fighting this inner battle my health also hasn't made it easy on me to be stress free or the most happy. i feel like my body is shutting down on me , its been doctors and tests and just one thing after another of bad news. I'm terrified the infections through my body will get worse, I'm terrified of the ultrasound i get done will show something else wrong within my body. i just want answers to why my body is constantly in pain. i want answers on why I'm having abnormal bleeding and blood clots the size of my hands, i want answers of why i cant have kids without it killing me . these all boil down to the answer of lupus. the disease that saved me but yet is also killing me , i don't understand anymore, i don't understand how i deserve this, i don't understand why the very thing in life i want most i cant have . to be a mother and to bare a child of my own. i want someone to think of me and put me first and realize how i feel on a day to day basis, how i feel at doctors appointments receiving bad news and taking it as strong as i show. sadly the only peace of relief i get when I'm in pain or hurting from bad news is my christian music that reassures me there's some kind of hope out there and i start to believe it cant get worse from here. i need reassurance that's its okay to cry in front of others instead of crying when i'm alone, or in the car ride home, or in the shower , or in the middle of night when I'm fighting to sleep. its time for me to show my true colors of hurt to the world and let people see how imperfect i really am . i may be strong, i may be weak, i may be happy and i may be sad. every moment in my life i try to make everyone else happy ans make sure they don't worry , but maybe its time to let them worry and see the pain i bury within myself. its time to put myself first again . its time to get my life and health where its supposed to be . sometimes venting to myself is a start of seeing who i am and who I'm supposed to be. ITS OK TO NOT BE OK! I'm going to get to where i need to be starting today. i'm not here to give up hope or lose my life but I'm allowed to feel pained within myself and actions. the warrior within is rising again in more ways than i've showed in a long time .

5 Year Anniversary
December 8th 2011... No one could ever understand the meaning behind this date except me. The day i got diagnosed is the day that will always be remembered...although everyone remembers it different, the day your phone rings and getting a call saying " Stasia is really sick and shes in the hospital" "she has lupus" then thinking to yourself "oh she's going to be ok, this to shall pass" "whats lupus" "how did she get it" all these questions were being brought up and thought of...but can you just imagine what was running through my mind and all the questions i had at 15 years old laying in a hospital bed with doctors and nurses and social workers surrounding me on a day to day basis. I was terrified ! Its crazy to me to know i can recite that day in my head by every second and minute and hour that passed. i remember being home sick for a week because i was having issues, my knees were hurting so bad i couldn't even walk, i started getting some type of rash on my face, and ulcers all in my mouth and on my body, that's when i finally told my mom we need to make a doctors appointment because i knew something wasn't right, i knew i wasn't ok...my mom called one of her friends to come take me and her to the closest walk in doctor around town, when we got to the doctors office i was telling my mom hopefully this goes quick and i can get back to school...well the doctor called me in to get checked out and i told him all my symptoms and what i remember more than anything was the look this doctor gave me...that moment i looked at my mom and my heart starting beating because i knew i was right im not ok...the doctor didnt say a word he grabbed a notepad and started writing and handed it to me saying i need to go to queen of the valley hospital this is a more serious situation than he can handle. so i walked out and we headed to the hospital in silence because i had nothing to say. well i arrived at queen of the valley and because of that stupid little note i got a straight through pass, no waiting for me....i was placed in a room and i was still quiet and so was my mom...we were both scared and worried and just wanted answers...so again i had to wait for another doctor. i had 3 doctors check me out one at a time top to bottom it was so uncomfortable for me i was shaking...the n they left and what felt like forever the clock just kept ticking and i was still laying there in silence....finally a doctor came in and looked at me and asked if he wanted my mom to step out of the room and i said no i want her here by my side...so he checked me top to bottom just like the other 3 and when he was done he looked at me and again i had nothing but fear in my eyes from his...he didn't say anything at first he just kept staring at my mom then to me again and finally said Ms.Gonzalez we think you have lupus or bechets ...i had no idea what he even said because i've never heard of either of those,,then he continued....they are autoimmune diseases , a cancer! i stayed calm but frozen and felt tears falling down my face then telling him to continue to explain....he said that's all the predictions we can make or tell you so he said i'm transferring you to millers children's long beach hospital we will have the ambulance take you we have to keep you monitored. then he left the room and i looked at my mom in fear and she looked at me the same way because her baby girl wasn't ok... the ambulance ride felt like it took forever i was laying there hooked up with monitors and needles in my arms and strapped down to a bed, when we arrived it was super late so they submitted me to a room a really small room. with blue walls and a single hospital bed that i didn't wanna fill. i was so tired i just wanted to sleep but i couldn't i had more doctors to see and more worrying to do. all through out the night i had nurses coming in and changing my fluids and poking me with more needles and running test after test... a few days passed and i was still laying there but they changed me rooms a bigger one i guess to try to make me feel comfortable...i still haven't got any answers just test after test still...could you imagine what i was going through days passing and still not knowing anything,,,,after more days passed a doctor came in Dr.Shaham and she looked at me and checked me top to bottom which was nothing new for me in that moment...she was asking me questions and i remember not being able to answer or remember so i broke down and started crying she lifted my head and said we can do this tomorrow...and hugged me and walked out while i rested for another long endless night....the next day she walked in again and told my mom to come near me along side the bed and she said "you have lupus" thats when my life did a complete 360....she went on explaining what it was and that its disease, no cure, meds for treatment, its chronic which means ill have it forever....i didnt cry, i didnt tear up, i didnt freeze, i simply said "ok" she handed me a stack of papers and it was for me to do my own research and get to know my disease. a nurse then walked in with the biggest bag of pills and meds ive ever seen, she said these are yours...we will have a nurse come in and tell you when an how to take them...i just said "ok" it wasnt until december 25th 2011 i got to go home..christmas day...i was so weak and tired i couldnt do much. no one could see me unless you had a face mask and gloves and sanitized completely .days went by more hospitals visits and pain that was unbearable...i was ready to let go and give up so many times...but i didnt i stayed strong and the thing is it was really for me i did it more my mom and my siblings that i know needed me around....if it wasnt for them i probably woudnt be here today....lupus changed my life and who i am as an individual. the first few years were rough and i lost myself i was depressed and felt more alone than ever...but again that didnt stop me...years kept going and now im here at year 5 healthier than ive ever been since the day i got sick. people say im an inspiration and its those who stick with me that inpsire me to be who i am. lupus saved my life! im a lupus warrior and forever will i stay strong and live life to the fullest!
Love as Always your lUPIE! <3

Change Matters...
i found myself losing faith in myself and everything around me i was acting out and giving up on everything and everyone. i was scared because i didn't like the me that was coming i cried alot because i felt alone and lost,like i had no one. but in this time of desperation i was calling out for a change something good, but it never came it was as if things just kept getting worse for me...i was becoming a nobody, and not doing anything with my life. it was one thing after another and no change was happening so i was ready to give up everything and end it all. no one had realized the pain and hurt i was going through because i smiled my ways through the day and hid the lost in my eyes it wasn't easy in fact it felt like it just made things worse because i was keeping everything in.
but then a miracle happened and my papa booked a ticket to Hawaii so i was leaving for a month , a getaway somewhere i was hoping i could get my mind off everything and let go and enjoy myself with my big sister Marilyn and my lovely nieces Amaya and Kylee. i got there and tears of joy hit my face she hugged me with such care and love i felt safe and not alone anymore for that split second of her arms around me, i knew this summer was going to become a big impact in my life. it was amazing days went by and i saw beautiful places and did extraordinary things, but besides all the sights and views i also got a chance to gain a family in hilo at new hope church. i began showing more emotions than i have in awhile to others. i wasn't afraid anymore to cry or feel pain i was letting everything out all my anger and sadness and pouring it out into worship into song. i started to grow within myself for the love of christ, and truthfully that scared me i was terrified because i felt like i wasn't ready to open my heart to jesus christ yet i was fighting with everything in me to reject that feeling and urge in my heart . Sunday, June 26, 2016 came along and i sat there waiting for service and worship to begin and i just started getting this funny feeling my stomach and heart and i knew for some reason this sunday was going to be different and a message was coming for me i just didn't know what at the time...worship begun and i stood up and within the first song i was in tears after every song i was filled with emotion every song told me something and hit my heart like a power ball, i was still confused on what message i was expecting to receive, so still being patient i sat down and waited for the service to start. the service was so powerful that i found myself starting to write on a piece of paper that was laid on my lap...i sat there and when i finished writing i was mixed with a million emotions because when i was writing i didnt know i was writing its like someone was sending me a message on paper and i was writing what i was being told in my heart and soul. my message on paper was this ....
"Today I'm praying on paper I've never sat down and prayed or asked for hep from you but being here and coming to church regular I've grown and i think I'm ready to Accept Christ. My sister has opened my eyes and showed me I'm really not alone and lone is all I've ever known so now knowing im not brings a weight off my shoulders I've cried and laughed and showed more emotions than i have in a long time since my return to church and love from my hilo family! i want to keep growing and become a christian of GOD!i think I'm ready to finally ask for help after 20 years of being on my own! so thank you for letting me in! you truly are a Good Good Father! "
A few days later i showed my sister and tears came from her eyes she was proud of me and soon after i messaged my great grandma connie and told her not long after there were more tears of joy, they were proud! i was happy and ever since i opened my heart to christ a whole new me has arose...im interacting more and showing my love for Christ everyday. worship music guides in times of hurt it bring me back to life. i made the biggest and best decision that i ever could for myself and i know now I'm going to be just fine! i have my strength and the Lords strength so together I'm ready to conquer the world and make a change! i want to make a difference and theres this saying that go to me " CHANGED PEOPLE CHANGE PEOPLE" this is a powerful meaning and I'm ready to start this chapter in my life I'm finally happy and I'm proud of myself to smile, everyday and know I'm not alone anymore and i can ask for help if needed. everything is going to be ok i know that now in my heart . so join me in this new adventure and let me share the new me with you I'm excited ! staying me forever and always!
love Yours truly,
