Life can present unexpected health challenges that deeply impact our lives and sense of self. These difficulties can seem overwhelming, overshadowing our daily routines and leaving us feeling lost and distressed.

After years of grappling with various health conditions, I've gained an understanding of how feelings of isolation, confusion, and anxiety can invade our minds, disrupt our routines, and affect our overall well-being.

Yet, amidst these challenges, I steadfastly believe in the transformative power of knowledge, the strength of resilience, and the significance of empathy. These forces can illuminate even the darkest paths, guiding us toward better health management.

Every time I embark on the uncertain journey of my health, I strive to better understand my body and conditions in hopes of learning something new that will help me cope with my never-ending symptoms.

This is why I founded Kiraluna: to share my heartfelt journey through the devastating impact of life-altering diseases, hoping to comfort those in similar situations by sharing my story and insights into these challenging health struggles.

We must acknowledge that we are not alone and that many experience similar struggles. We should support one another in any way we can and celebrate small victories. This is my way of supporting those who, like me, live in a world without clear answers, filled with confusion and despair.

It has always been my philosophy to remain optimistic, especially in difficult times. Today, more than ever, I believe in approaching life with a smile and embracing the seriousness of my conditions with positive humor.

I do not find any illness, condition, or disorder amusing; I take my current situation and life very seriously. However, along with relevant and serious information, humorous animations and videos illustrate my philosophy. This approach not only serves as a coping mechanism but also helps me stay sharp and productive.

Through these animations and videos, I share my experiences and insights gathered over the years, hoping to add some brightness to the darkness these diseases can bring. 

It is also my way of staying proactive and utilizing some of the tools in my toolbox. Every moment spent creating something and enjoying time with my family and friends is a priceless gift that deserves to be celebrated, even in our darkest moments.
