This is beautiful Jenna! And deeply relatable for all of us who have any chronic illness. The line about having a near death experience, no thinking, pain or feeling, but still being here hit me in the gut. It’s a tough old gig having a chronic illness.

Yes, this. You say so much in so few words. Lovely.

Chronic illness here for the past four years. Having to live flat on my back for 99% of the day means that I take beauty and joy wherever I can find it.

I couldn’t relate more to this. I’m currently going through something similar that has lasted quite some time and I can’t seem to get out of.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've found that the simplest things—eating clean and well; doing yoga, meditation, and breathwork; connecting with nature—really help. It sounds cliché, but starting the day with the intention to feel good and nurture your body is more important than I realized. I hope you feel better.
