1,460… That’s quite a LARGE, >daunting<
number, isn’t it?
That quantity represents the amount of days it has been since I almost lost my life. FOUR-YEARS to the day [April 18, 2010]. The past four years have been filled with some of the hardest, most frustrating situations I could ever imagine.
Yet, amidst the annoyance, anger, and sadness,
I have also discovered
self-actualization,
pride, and joy. I have also discovered
I have been afforded the opportunity to, in the words of
Robin Roberts, “make my MESS my MESSAGE” through my work with the
Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts’ Think-A-Head Program as a Survivor
Speaker. I have met and become incredibly close with individuals whom I never would’ve had the pleasure of being acquainted with if I had never
sustained the invisible injury that is TBI.
Is my life different than it was before my injury?
Yes, of course it is.
Yes, of course it is.
But would I change the path I’m now on as a result of my injury? NO-WAY!
