People think resilience means bouncing back.
But when you live with chronic illness,
you don’t bounce.
You rebuild. Slowly.
There’s no rising.
Just crawling.

With less energy, fewer options –
and a sharper sense of what truly matters.

Resilience isn’t some heroic comeback.
It’s shrinking your dreams just enough to still reach them.
It’s reshaping your big plans – without letting them die.
It’s living with pain,
without letting it make you bitter.
It’s living with exhaustion,
without letting it turn you into someone you hate.
