This is a place where I write things I wouldn’t say out loud.
I’m writing this anonymously because illness changes things in ways that are hard to say out loud.
This is a record of what that feels like — day to day, not in hindsight.
I’m not writing to explain, teach, or inspire. I’m writing to be honest, and to see what that honesty looks like over time.

This writing isn’t medical advice or therapy.
It reflects one person’s experience of illness and its emotional impact.
