Quotes that get me through

 Battle after battle that's what life is about, don't worry if you lose some you may have another chance. Have courage and be strong

When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty trust him fully because two things can happen. Either he'll catch you when you fall or he will teach you how to fly

Hi, I'm Juanita

A dreamer

A person with a passion for helping others and seeing them smile. After facing the big questions in life while being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at 13 (2012) and diagnosed again at 20 (2020), I found my mission in sharing my experience and helping ohters. I am finishing my Psychology degree at the University of Manitoba and want others (wether living through disease or not) to feel understood and smile through my writing and experiences.
