I have spent the last few years dealing with chronic illness and my life has changed almost beyond recognition. I have started this blog to help make some sense of what has happened and where I am now, to try and move beyond survival mode and try to figure out a way to thrive, within this ‘new normal’. And also, to give me something vaguely productive to do on my phone beyond scrolling through the same four social media sites.

I thought about going for a fancy quote for my first post, maybe something inspirational by Confucius. But honestly, Harry Potter quotes are more my style…

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live – Albus Dumbledore
