Diamond Out of Concrete

When you are a woman with health issues, love becomes just another stress in your life. Men are visual creatures and imperfections lessens a woman’s beauty. We get judged from hair to feet including the color of the skin we are wrapped in. So many physical things can stop a man from trying to even just know you. Stretch marks, a belly, flat ass, big waist, a wide back, moles, not so smooth skin, cellulite, scars…. Having an autoimmune disorder is like having a scar on the inside. Actually, more of a wound that doesn’t heal. It doesn’t just affect your body, it affects your mind too. It makes you feel weak, worthless, and worn out. For a man to love you through that is a beautiful thing indeed.

You see, a man that is willing to love a woman with health issues is the real hero here, the real warrior. He has to be strength for two. He does things that other men would only do for their mothers. He is a protector and provider tenfold. He is a man of patience, understanding, maturity, and compassion. To the ladies who have that, a man to love you through all your flaws and even the mountain that health issues can be in your life; issues that even questions the love you have for yourself; a man that love you with all the normal imperfections that women have plus your health issues…. Cherish him. Love him. Be totally grateful and appreciative of him, because you mined a diamond out of concrete….
