On Living with a Chronic Illness During the COVID-19 Panic
First, I would like to say, for all you healthy folks out there, please relax. Yes, we should be taking this outbreak seriously, but stockpiling soap and toilet paper is not rational.

The Truth, the Whole Truth, Nothing but the Truth
As I write this, I’m still debating whether to post it. This blog has sort of become a public diary in a way, expressing thoughts and feelings I wouldn’t dare to say aloud. I don’t typically share my deep feelings. My friends and family all know me really well, and I don’t hide things from… Continue reading The Truth, the Whole Truth, Nothing but the Truth
