About This Quote
The pain from chronic illness often impacts our ability to do the things we love. The disease becomes a barrier between us and everything we love. People with chronic illness find it hard to enjoy life because they have to take medication or undergo treatments that may have a bad taste or smell. This is a disconnect between what our souls can do and what our bodies can do.
We can be happy and content with our bodies, but the disease limits us from being able to do the things we dream about doing. When we become ill, we have to learn how to cope with our new reality. We have to learn how to adjust and adapt so that we heal from the inside out instead of just from the outside in.
