One of the hardest parts of chronic illness is watching everyone else’s life moving forward.
Some are getting promotions.
Others having babies.
Some are taking their dream vacations.
And you’re just stuck.
Stuck sick.
Stuck waiting for answers.
Stuck waiting to move forward with your own life.

It takes your momentum.
Your plans.
Your ability to dream.
And somehow, we’re expected to stay grateful.
