  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place in 2022. It was a Facebook group in another time zone and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œWhen you first hear the word rare, it feels like a door slamming. You'll spend months explaining it to doctors and yourself. Some days you'll faint in the queue at the shop and feel like a spectacle. But you'll also find people who listen. You'll learn to pace yourself. You'll get a caseworker who helps with the bills. It won't be fixed, but it will be managed. And you'll still play guitar badly, and that's something.โ€

  • โ€œNot that long ago, about a year, that was me. Back then it was flying to a specialist. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back.โ€
