I've had Crohn's Disease for more than two decades, but it doesn't stop me from living my life. | Belle Brita

A few years ago, I wrote this as a response to a prompt that I can no longer find. Maybe the prompt was on courage? I told Dan about it before I shared it with a few friends. “It’s a little smug,” I said. “It sounds inspiring,” he replied. I’ve updated it slightly since then. I have… [Read More]
