naps are not only welcomed, but encouraged
Let's get real here. Being diagnosed with a chronic illness at 23 kinda sucks. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you. You spend all this time convincing yourself that the world is your oyster, you're going to do BIG things... and then it all comes crashing down right in front of you (metaphorically, of course).
What comes next? Is the future really as bleak as reddit threads make it out to be?
I have to admit to you right now that I don't have all the answers. Who does? But I have to believe that me, and you, and the millions of other people across the world who find themselves sore for a week after everyday tasks like opening a jar of pickles are not doomed to an eternity of misery.
We just might have to get a little bit more creative to find ways to make our lives easier. And I'm here to help you do that.
