Remaining positive while being ill has to be one of the hardest things possible. On the days were you honestly just feel like you are being crushed from every force imaginable but you are still try to see that "bright light" can be seriously frustrating. I call this the "bright light" because I feel like everyone talks about the light at the end of the tunnel that you're suppose to see because it signals that things will get better soon. Though how do you keep reaching for that light and remaining positive when life seems to just keep kicking you down. I think 100% positivity is overrated and that it's okay to feel done with everything somedays, the most important thing is to not fall deep into that void. Have your days to grieve over who you use to be before you became ill and the pain that came along with it and then after that brush off your hands then go back to war. Yes war, because it is a battle that you have to fight for the rest of your life. I'll leave you this quote that I've really been living by the past couple weeks. "
Remaining positive as possible during this life is hard, it's hard to keep remembering why you're still going. Though I believe that you live for those who can't right now and they live for you." This means that while you're down and suffering the other Chronic Illness warriors are living for you while you can't and when they are suffering you are living for them.
