Chronic Illness… Making the best of it

Having a chronic illness is a scary ordeal, just about every day I’m reminded of the illness through pain and other physical symptoms that come and go as they please.

When I was diagnosed a few months ago, I started going into a downward spiral, losing everything I had from loved ones I pushed the way through losing my mind to my ability to work and drive. I am without an income because I can’t even work a steady job, I never know when this thing is going to strike in what level of pain I’m gonna go through.

About a month and a half ago I decided to do my best to live this out in a positive way because if and illness is going to take my life, I want to be strong and live as happy of a life as I can. I deserve creating some type of joy through all of this hell, I’m going to fight to the end.

I know of others that are suffering as well, and I want to be an inspiration for them, it’s easy to lose yourself in depression and, at times, madness over what’s happening to our bodies that’s out of our control.

So if you’re somebody that is facing the chronic illness, do your best to find your Center and bring joy into your own life, and you might find that you can bring joy into other lives I can feed your soul.

Bless, I pray you find what’s needed to press on, WE GOT THIS!!!!
