If you hang out on social media often, you may find alot of inauthenticity and people trying to encourage you to be something you are not.
I suffered a stroke. I’m not the old person I used to be. Things are different and I am fully aware of that. I may look okay, sound ok, even walk okay. But I know within, things are different. My driving, yikes, don't ride with me at night. My thinking 🤔, it’s different. I process things differently too. And I'm a-ok with it. I’ve quickly embraced who I am after my stroke.
I’m not trying to fit into anyone's ideology of how I should be or act, and dammit, I certainly don't need anyone to “remind me”, of how grateful I should be that I'm alive! I’m flipping them the bird right now. Seriously?!? Anyway, I’m blessed, a walking miracle and I know it. Period.
I’m all about authenticity, a word that is so blatantly overused, but at the end of the day, do everything you can to be 100% yourself. And after the stroke, heart attack, cancer, major surgery, you find your new norm, and embrace it. Embrace your life. Embrace yourself wherever you find yourself.
Sending you lots of Sunshine 🌞
That is the only way to be. Especially in today's world.
I came out of my enviornmental shell, and I began to laugh, and smile again, and be happy with and about me, all over again.
