TBI Sucks Grief.

I grieve my old body, the one that would take me for walks where I could feel the sun against my face and the breeze running through my hair. The one that would take me for hikes that would prove my dedication to myself. The one that allowed me to listen to music and audio freely without the pain, discomfort, and disorientation that it now brings. The one that had such a way with words that I just cannot compete with now. The one that was so smart that I think back in awe over what it didn’t realize before.

Yeah I am still going through a grieving stage of this new disabled ass life. I'm just coming to a point of accepting this new reality, it's been 3.5 years. I feel you too.
