Writing

I’ve always loved fall. Even while the heat lingers, I can feel the season calling me toward changing leaves, spooky things, curious places, and a little autumn magic.

What happens when you’re disabled and exhausted enough to wonder if these are your good days? A reflection on pain, grief, survival, disabled joy, and finding a way forward.

Years of care work, chronic illness, disability, and burnout left me disconnected from myself. This is my journey back to joy.
