So much has changed… and also nothing at all. That’s life with chronic illness.

It’s uncomfortable learning how to live in the gray, the in-between, the space most people rush past or try to fix. But when you finally let yourself sit there… when you grieve what needs to be grieved and stop forcing yourself to be “okay”… something shifts.

Because you don’t heal by pretending it’s fine. You heal by honoring what hurts, and trusting that joy will meet you when you’re ready.

And when you’re ready, and you find comfort in the grey… you get met with a quiet mental peace. Its not there to erase the hard. It’s there to help you carry it. And in that space, joy still shows up, not on command, not on a timeline, but gently.

Life and healing don’t happen with ease and in a straight line. But it can get softer with time ❤️❤️❤️
