A reflection on gratitude and the ways it has become an anchor I return to when life brings uncertainty, fear, or suffering. “It is not about choosing between suffering and gratitude. It is about discovering that both can inhabit the same space.”

“It is still almost inconceivable to me that I have just opened a new chapter in my life, after 34 years marked by constant, dull, overwhelming suffering… a pain I learned to live with, but above all, to hide.”
