Living with a chronic illness is no small feat. It’s challenging, but it also teaches resilience and gratitude. 

Here are a few quotes and resources that have helped me stay grounded and hopeful:

Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

— Akshay Dubey

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

— A.A. Milne
