"I realized recently that, big picture, this is the best my health has been since I got sick. When I got my infection in 2018 that impacted my whole body until 2023, I wasn’t diagnosed with one of my illnesses and 3 of my diagnosed ones weren’t controlled to the level they are now.⁣
So this year my quasi-resolution is being nice to myself and focusing more on thriving than existing. Because I can, for the first time maybe ever, thinking about thriving *and* existing."⁣
