i’ve lived with chronic pain for years — the kind that hides in plain sight.
fibromyalgia slowed down my body, but it also softened my soul.
i started writing slow burn as a way to survive the stillness, to hold space for all the feelings i couldn’t say out loud.it became a quiet diary of invisible aches, whispered prayers, and small flickers of hope.slow burn isn’t a fix. it’s a companion.
for anyone moving through pain at their own pace, i wrote this for you.
