Snapped this in the middle of it all—between tests, long waits, and still no clear answers.
I ducked into the bathroom, not just for a breather, but to pause and reconnect.
I stood there in front of the mirror, hands on my heart, and told myself:
“Michele, you’re doing your best. You’re stronger than you think. I love you.”
Truth is, I’m still in the thick of it.
There are more tests to come, more questions than answers right now.
But I’ve decided to give myself grace.
To let my body feel what it needs to feel, and give it the love and space it needs to heal.
Not everything is fixable overnight—especially when you're living with complex chronic conditions.
But in that quiet moment, I chose compassion over frustration.
And that changed everything.
So if you're walking through something hard too, maybe this is your invitation—
Step away.
Breathe.
Look yourself in the mirror and speak to your heart with kindness.
You're doing better than you think. 💛
