I had been used to the stares by now. By now I even ventured out into the great unknown of society and beyond my comfort zone of the darkness of the movie theatre. I had grown tremendously since that Wednesday in May now knowing that I will never be that person who entered the hospital that…
Coming Back
It’s been a while since I have been I have been back here. Writing has been such a cathartic process for me. To be able to express myself when at times it was the only way I could communicate with the world. I cannot thank everyone enough for their support and kindness during this entire…
The Process of Accepting
I have begun the process of self-reflection. Really looking at everything in my life. Looking at the fork in the road I have come to, the paths that I had crossed, and ultimately what was and was not working for me. I had become so numb for so long refusing to feel and let…
How Do You Thank Someone That Changed Your Life
Thanking someone for something can be in a form of verbal expression, a gift or public acknowledgement. Going out of your way to do something for another person out of the goodness of your heart shouldn’t have the requirement of automatically doing something in return.

Happy 27th.
On January 13th I turned 27. I thought it would be like any other birthday that I’ve had. It wouldn’t feel like anything has changed. Before I felt like age was just a number and it doesn’t define you or hold you back from what you are trying to pursue or accomplish in life. Those…
Mirror Mirror: A Look At My Physio Exercises
As many of you know, I have been an adventurer in the health care system for quite some time. For me, that means treatment in and out of the hospital and other health care facilities. To regain function in my left hand, I have done many exercises, many, many exercises. I was willing to do…
Reflecting on 2015
2015 has been quite the year. Many things have happened, both good and bad. Tonight we enter into a new year. Every New Years Eve I always think that it feels like any other night has passed, another “time to just get dressed up and maybe have one to many drinks”. As I have gotten…
