Quotes by Hannah Hodgson  (?)

“If you take one thing from this book let it be this: even the dying are alive. If you're a reader with a life limiting diagnosis: I see you. Grieving your body is continuous, sometimes the pain is intolerable, it is never an act of cowardice to talk about your life. You can't control the reactions of others, only what you do with it. Both the physical and mental aspects of our lives are intolerable some days, and that is okay. Ask for help, someone is there to listen. You are not a burden.”
Hannah Hodgson, 163 Days

“I treat my body and mind as two separate entities most of the time, my body is an annoying failing bag of meat allowing me to live, whilst my mind is what I consider to be my actual self. Neither my mind nor my annoying meat would be alive without the NHS.”
Hannah Hodgson, 163 Days

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Painting is silent poetry,
and poetry is painting that speaks.”
Plutarch
