About Chronically Patient
Hi! My name's Alex.
I'm in my 20s, from England, and trying to figure out myself, my diagnoses, and my life.
While this blog is purely somewhere to regurgitate my thoughts, if it can bring distraction, entertainment, or comfort to just one person, even myself, that would be great. If you're coming along for the ride, I sincerely thank and welcome you and I hope you will consider joining our little community by creating an account. You will gain access to groups where you can post and chat with other community members (and me)!
You may notice that most of the images I use are of sunsets. This is for several reasons. Firstly, golden hour is my favourite time of day. Secondly, I have hundreds of images of different sunsets from over the years on my phone and need some way to make them useful. Thirdly, sunsets bring me a sense of joy and peace that little else in this world comes close to. Even if I've had the worst day, a beautiful sunset never fails to make me pause, make me think and make me grateful. Today may have been bad, and tomorrow is uncertain, but right now is full of beauty and wonder and light and who knows? Maybe tomorrow's sunset will be even more spectacular than this one.
Sometimes the easiest way to feel better after a hard day is to wait for the sunset. It requires no money or effort and the worst that can happen is that it's too cloudy or raining and it's not that pretty and you move on with your evening. However, the best that can happen is that the sky is painted with colours and light and, for even just a few minutes, you get to forget your troubles and appreciate the moment. So, next time you feel bad or lonely, wait for the sunset and know that somewhere out there, I'm waiting too.
