So my new life as I am coming to know it, is slightly complicated. Maybe I have made it that way
just so I can deal with everything that has happened just in the last year.
Everyone has issues to deal with, I know this. I try to never feel pity for myself, and in most cases
don't want anyone else to feel pity for me either, I believe it's because I had to stand on my own so many times, and in turn it made me Stronger.
When you have issues with health, of which you have no control, it can be; (please excuse my wording) a REAL PISSER!!
Health issues can be hereditary and sometimes come out of no where, when you least suspect or even want them too. When all of my health issues started, I wasn't expecting it at all, but who really is, right?
I was just getting my life together, after a very bad divorce; I started a new job, had my finances in order, finally. And then Boom.....I was in the hospital, and finding out, I had a brain tumor....
well isn't that nice.
Well after two major brain surgeries and almost a year after the first one, I'm now realizing that I am not who I was when all of this started; the reality of that makes me very angry.
I am realizing also that everyone has seen the change in me, except for me. Why? Because I just
didn't want to admit it to myself; but now, as I have seen changes in my physical and mental I have begun to slowly admit it to myself, because I am the only one (aside from God) that I have to answer too.
Everyday isn't always difficult, I have days when I feel like I could conquer anything; Like for instance:
Cleaning the house
Raking all the leaves in the yard and bagging them
Working out for an hour
Oh yes and I do these things, and then at the end of the day, I feel like I have been hit by a Mack Truck three times. (not an exaggeration either).
And then I wonder why the heck am I so beat down? AH! Well genius, you know why.
So everyday I struggle with myself, and keep saying to myself, hey you're OK
, shake it off, you are going to be back to normal before you know it; and there in lies the Big Thorn, because I will never be that same person, not physically anyway.
So I dust myself off and say hey, it's better than the alternative right?
When something happens to you, be it health, be it relationship changes, things in life can change in a split second and I believe that everyone in this life in their life can do one of two things,
1. Let it defeat you OR
2. Get through it
I believe that what doesn't end you, only makes you stronger, and I may not be the same person I was
a year ago, but you better believe I'm will be a better and stronger version than that person a year ago.
Peace
