Stale Cabbage: About

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/p/about.html

My name is Alicia Durfey. I'm twenty-seven and have an affinity for sci-fi and bad Chinese. I also have Crohn's Disease. I live in Boston, where I happily illustrate, blog, and raise a seven year old Chihuahua. I'm a big fan of sunshine, and of sharing what I know about life, strength, love, and being sick. Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Follow this blog with bloglovin. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Stale Cabbage: Fitting Room Win

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2014/02/fitting-room-win.html

Wednesday, February 26, 2014. I wrote a short few posts over the last three years that described some awful body experiences in my young female life. Having a chronic disease, especially one with such digestive turmoil as Crohn's, can be a terror on your bod. Weight fluctuation is inevitable. Your clothes will fit, and for a while they may not. They probably won't, if you're very sick. And you're GONNA. HATE. EVERYTHING. Holy shit. Some of my curves are back. I have waited YEARS to feel like a woman again.

Stale Cabbage: When To Stop Fighting

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2013/07/when-to-stop-fighting.html

Sunday, July 14, 2013. When To Stop Fighting. Once upon a time, there was a young girl who fell ill and ultimately lost everything. Over three years, the girl slowly regained the strength and mental clarity it took to give her life another healthy chance. What she didn't expect was an uphill, and often times negative battle more terrifying than knowing and learning to respect illness. And she became addicted to that battle. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO TRUCK THROUGH? In fact, put your mirrors...

Stale Cabbage: When Recovery is a Bad Word

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2014/02/when-recovery-is-bad-word.html

Monday, February 17, 2014. When Recovery is a Bad Word. You know that last post I wrote about refraining from apologies? I suppose it's not so easy to skirt feelings of guilt for being sick for an extended period of time, after all. Keep finding reasons to praise yourself for your most healing moments though, even when you feel you're defending. Again in all kinds relationships, and how to enjoy getting there. Even SPECIALISTS struggle with this. Stumbling upon a strong community of sick or healing p...

Stale Cabbage: Double Agent

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2013/07/double-agent.html

Thursday, July 25, 2013. Has there ever been a time in your life that you remember living as a version of yourself? It's possible that some people may find this difficult to relate to [I'm jealous of and applaud those who do], but when we're going through something tough, sometimes we become so used to motion on autopilot, that we forget how to use our manual controls as the days start to get brighter. Vulnerable side do you let your semi-close friends see? You want to be strong, right? Keeping up with a...

Stale Cabbage: The Whole Truth

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-whole-truth.html

Sunday, January 5, 2014. I've always been the first person to raise my hand and call "bullshit" when someone close to me is struggling and tries to find a flimsy way to disguise it. I've also been the one, more times than I'd like to admit, to try and hide when I'm truly suffering myself. Which is why my blog posts and sketches are advice-filled and seem to be very. Most people can get by with half-assed self care. When you've got a serious illness, there are times when half-assing anything. Offer to get...

Stale Cabbage: Water Wait

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2013/08/water-wait.html

Monday, August 5, 2013. I've never been sailing. I imagine racing over the ocean with the strength of the wind behind my schooner [that's a fancy sailing ref for those who care] would be pretty amazing, though. You know how sometimes you feel driven to do something really. Like some beautiful force has it's hand on the small of your back, willing you to keep sailing until you carry it out? I'm realizing that maybe some of you don't. I know that for a decent chunk of my life I. My poor boat shoes. My name...

Stale Cabbage: If I May

http://stalecabbage.blogspot.com/2013/05/if-i-may.html

Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Some beautiful freaking weather, and a fresh season. One absolutely terrifying thing about this month. If we don't, we run the risk of getting sick and becoming super miserable. The positive vibes you give yourself are in direct correlation with how good you feel. If you've got blood running through your veins, you've got the opportunity to make your time on this planet worth something. Even if you're sick. Especially. Grab happiness by the nape of it's neck, and make it your own.
