I’m Ling. I started this blog to share my journey living with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, to remind myself what I’m capable of, and to share my passions with anyone who can relate. Along the way, I’ll share the things I love and the small ways I grow a little each day.
Hi,

I’m Ling, currently living in the UK. I love exploring new things, travelling, and cooking good food. But I also enjoy the quieter side of life: slow mornings, cosy evenings, and snuggling up at home on wet, gloomy days, which happen quite often thanks to the British weather.
I’m new to writing, but I’m excited to share my life here. This blog is my happy space, a place where I document my journey of embracing life with chronic back pain as a gift rather than a burden, and redefining what a “normal life” looks like.
WHY I STARTED THIS BLOG
never imagined I would start a blog. Writing has never felt like one of my strengths, but I wanted to try something new and see if I could do it anyway.
I started this blog to document my journey and remind myself that I’m capable of more than I sometimes believe. It’s also a way of proving to myself that I can do things I once thought were out of reach.
Over time, this space has become somewhere I can share what it’s really like to live with chronic back pain and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA). It has also helped me see my condition differently.
Not because it’s easy,
but because it has changed the way I see life.
It has taught me patience, gratitude, and the importance of slowing down. Things I never would have chosen to learn, but lessons I’m grateful to carry with me.
