This is beautiful, and I resonated with so much of it: Tending to a chronically ill/painful body, finding comfort in delicious snacks sometimes, reading for pleasure (romance novels are great!), unwinding with a good story on the screen, and getting tangled up in that place of "no one would understand/it's not worth explaining." Thanks for writing it!

Awww, thank you so much Beth. :) I've got lil tears of joy over here. I'm glad to hear you resonated with it, although part of me wishes you didn't, ya know? Just because tending to a chronically ill/painful body is a tough life - but I hope you know, although our experiences are of course not necessarily the same, you are not alone. *heart*

There's a lot to grieve in these experiences, but it's a blessing to find someone who understands it.
