Chronic illness gave me empathy, creativity, and the skill of saying "maybe" and "no" with authority. #ProtectingMyPeace

My body doesn’t do “wake up refreshed.” It does “wake up and negotiate.” #ChronicIllness

Gratitude doesn’t erase pain, but it helps keeps me grounded through it. #ChronicPain

I haven’t felt “normal” in years, but I’ve been forced to push through and own it, even when it feels impossible. #ChronicLife

If my body had a customer service line, I’d be on hold forever. #ChronicallyIll

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it just shows up in loose sweatpants with a heating pad. #ChronicIllnessWarrior

If symptoms had loyalty points, I’d have earned several lifetime memberships by now. #SpoonieChronicles

Chronic illness: the unexpected master class in patience, prioritizing, and pajama life. #RunningOnEmpty

My health chart is starting to look like abstract art. #SpoonieChronicles

Chronic illness math: one errand = three hours of recovery #ChronicLife

The best part of a good day is pretending, for a moment, that it’ll last forever. #ChronicIllness

Behind every strong #ChronicIllnessWarrior is a mountain of unwashed laundry and sidelined plans.

People call it ‘doing nothing.’ I call it ‘strategic recovery.’ #EnergyCrisis

It’s wild how rest can still feel like a task when your body never really resets. #ChronicFatigue

“I’m tired” has layers only spoonies understand. #RunningOnEmpty

Self-care isn’t indulgent when your body forgets how to function. #RestPlease

When you have a chronic illness, pacing yourself isn’t optional — it’s survival. #ChronicLife

Sometimes my biggest accomplishment of the day (or week) is just not giving up. #RunningOnEmpty

The only thing predictable about chronic illness is its unpredictability. #ChronicLife

Survival looks quiet, but it’s the loudest kind of strength. #ChronicIllnessWarrior

My baseline pain level should qualify as an extreme sport. #ChronicPain

Invisible illness: where “I’m fine” translates to “I’m holding on with duct tape and determination.” #ButYouDontLookSick

Living with chronic illness means every day is a pop quiz you didn’t study for. #SpoonieLife

My body learns new tricks every month. Unfortunately, they’re usually medical mysteries. #ChronicLife

I’ve mastered the art of looking fine while falling apart. #ButYouDontLookSick

Healing and grief can happen in the same space. #KeepGoing

Flare-ups have the worst timing. It’s like my body saw my plans and said, “That’s cute.” #ChronicallyIll

My social battery isn’t rechargeable — it’s more like solar power on a cloudy day. #SpoonieLife

Resting is not quitting. It’s strategy. #ChronicFatigue

My body has a full-time job, and it’s called "trying to keep me functional." #ChronicIllnessWarrior

I used to measure success by productivity. Now I measure it by peace. #ChronicIllnessWarrior

Chronic illness is like being on hold with your body forever: “Your call is (not) very important to us…” #SpoonieLife

Just an early-week reminder. <3
