“When you hear good advice, you should do two things with
it: take it and pass it on.” Anonymous
Life is full of things in which make you think about what
happened and how you plan to move on from there. In my case, the biggest
situation is after my accident. I had to realize what happened to me, choose
how I was able to overcome my situation and move past the challenges ahead. I
will admit it was very difficult. There were days I struggled to accept and see
a future in which I fit into.
Today marks the 19th anniversary of my accident.
I have said before that this day doesn’t frighten me and I don’t get sad or
angry. Although I do admit that I think about how my life would be if I hadn’t
been so accepting to a situation that changed not only my view on life but my
life itself. Thinking back, I realize that there were times when I went through
a grieving process of losing my independence and the loss of movement/feeling.
It took not only my mom, others around me and myself to be
able to overcome every obstacle that came my way to get to the accepting stage.
For a while, I saw a therapist to help me handle all the emotions I was dealing
with. Throughout the years, I have been given a lot of advice. Mostly good that
I could get some use out of and some that didn’t really apply to what was
happening to me.
It is nice to share how I’m feeling with people who can
understand and may be going through the same thing as me. This way it’s easier
to be honest and open with them. I also like creating my blog posts, kind of
like a diary for me, only openly shared to anyone that comes across my site!
Although it’s a way for me show others what life like is like as a quad, hoping
to inspire people throughout my journey.
