 Being texting done before driving Because we're gonna be safe on the road today and always guys not hitting the trash cans this time doing great So I am venturing out into the world again today And I've been thinking about this comment that I get over and over and over again on social media People will repeatedly say to me things that I think are meant as compliments, but What they say is wow, you're so strong if that happened to me. I would just kill myself And as I think about that for just a second I think there are a variety of ways that one could take that comment I think to some extent you could take it in a really kind of insulting way like wow someone thinks my life is so worthless That they would end theirs instead of living mine But that's honestly not how I take it and if you've ever said that no ill will whatsoever I think that people Strongly underestimate their ability to live through things and survive and underestimate the strength of their own human spirit I think that's one of the big reasons why people idolize and use the word inspirational when talking about people who are like living with disabilities but still doing things which is the vast majority of People who are living with disabilities or who have suffered through extreme trauma and are still living life Which is a lot of people who have lived through trauma Sands me for them to some extent to think that someone can't picture a future for themselves If something drastic happened because the reality is is that no one knows what's gonna happen tomorrow and Bad things happen. I have personally had my fair share of them. I have learned to adapt and survive and Honestly, you would too. It is my sincere desire that nothing ever happens to you that is so Life-changing in such a negative way. I hope that you never have to go through trauma I hope that you've never had to I hope that you never lose a body part, but Know that if you ever did know that if you ever do You would find a way through you could find a way through that is possible when people say things like that to me They would literally rather die than learn how to live life without a leg It honestly like it just like honestly makes my heart sad for them because I really feel like they are so Underestimating their own power their own strength and their own like will to overcome and survive because it exists in them Just as much as it exists in me and they and you are just as capable of doing What I am doing as I am like I don't have some special power that doesn't exist in you as well I'm choosing to live life. I'm choosing to figure it out and it's hard That's it and and you could too if you were ever in my shoes So to everyone who has made those comments no ill will no issue whatever but the next time you think about Saying something like that. I would just stop and like think about the last really really hard thing you've had to go through and Before you went through it. You probably thought that you could never survive it I can think of so many things that I've gone through where I Didn't think there was any way I could ever see the other side of it I never wanted to see the other side of it But then I did then I got through it then I found a way to keep putting one foot in front of the other and Keep waking up which is like the biggest part of making it through anything horrible and and you find a way so I That's kind of a random rant for today But I kind of just want to address that because I kept seeing that message come up in that comment come up and guys We're so much stronger than we think we are you are so much stronger than you think you are whatever you are facing Even if it seems completely insurmountable and like you can't get through it You can and what I'm facing on days when I feel like I cannot get through it like there is no hope There is no way like it's never going to end. I can and I will and you will too and I'm just about to be late By the way, people always told me French press coffee is better than normal coffee. I never believed them I never put in the extra work. I ran out of size for coffee filters today Which means I was only left to pull out the French press that I was given Three years ago when I got married that I've never used I used it My life is forever changed everyone you guys were right. I was wrong French press coffee is amazing
