Quote of the Day

All we ever have is this moment and this day.

Don’t focus on the future

And what might lie ahead.

It’s good to have some dreams

And to formulate some plans.

It’s good to feel inspired

And to set yourself high goals.

But life will pass you by if your focus is what’s next.

If you are never here

For your mind is somewhere else.

You need to be awake

And inhabit life right now.

Don’t wish away your days

Life is happening. Here. Today.

We Bought a House!

I’m sorry I’ve MIA lately when it comes to writing. I’ve been really busy and took some time to take care of my health, and undergo new treatments. I do have some incredible news; after being sick for 3 years and dating my boyfriend for a year and a half, my amazing boyfriend and I mustered up the courage to buy a home.

It was a long and stressful process, and with being ill, I had to constantly pace myself. I couldn’t have done this process without my family, my boyfriend, and his family; and its truly a dream come true to be able to live in our dream house.

We are extremely happy, and excited to see where this journey takes us. Heres to the start of a new chapter, together.💕💕

QUESTIONS FROM KAITLIN:

  • Why did you decide to start your blog?
  • I started my blog because I became chronically ill. I got in a very very dark place, and I knew I could either let my illness take over me, or I could use my illnesses as a tool to help others. All I ever wanted to do was share my journey to help others in my situation, share tips, let them know they aren’t alone, and also spread love and positivity.
  • What is your favorite breakfast food?
  • Pancakes and syrup! Yum!
  • Who motivates you? Or is your inspiration?
  • My mom is my biggest inspiration. She is the strongest human I know, and I’m so lucky to have such a positive and inspirational woman to look up to.

  • My favorite movie of all time is Sweet Home Alabama, and my favorite book is Fault in our Stars!
