I am extremely sensitive about a girl I found on social media. This person is the reason why I donate blood and am on the organ donor register.
In November, she had the most terrifying surgery in existence (a heart transplant). I first saw her on a post just when she announced her imminent transplant.
This inhumanly beautiful girl, with absolutely stunning hazel eyes and bronze-coloured shoulder-length waves, looked pale and visibly scared on camera when she announced it and it drove me to tears seeing this. I woke up a few days later having made the decision to donate blood and place myself on the ODR and I followed through with it. For context I have a massive needle phobia and an enormous trauma about organ donation due to a 2013 screening of a documentary highly inappropriate for children. I started caring about her feelings and she's the main reason why I still repeatedly donate blood- October will be my fifth time.
The surgery went well and it just breathed life into her.
Yesterday I saw a post she made, and panicked when I saw the post was in black and white. She never posted in that colour before and I only post in that colour when someone dies, and for a moment I felt she really did die.
In that moment I wrote her a comment saying "You scared me for a minute there (the black and white photo...). Here's a wish for your health".
We don't know each other personally but she is familiar with who I am, including that she is the reason why I donate blood.
I'm now overthinking and anxious that I overstepped with that comment.
She's perfectly alive and semi-famous but I'd rather not post her name.
