 I've always taken the perspective of my life, pushing things to the limit, hustle, work hard, push past any obstacle, you can get it done, show people you're tough, because apparently that proves something about your value as a human, I should talk to my therapist about that. But earlier this month, I came to the realization that I don't have to prove myself to myself or anybody else. I was brought out to this absolutely incredible snowboard in camp, serious competitors, Paralympians, and after about an hour up on the snowboard, I knew that this wasn't gonna be a good idea for me. It was causing large amount of pain in my leg. A couple years ago, it actually damaged nerves in my leg, and in this super high-intensity competition atmosphere, I had to make the call on day two that I needed to quit. I think that there are moments that are worth pushing our physical boundaries to achieve a goal, but understanding that that would have literally damaged my body and potentially put me in more surgery, I can't do this, I'm so sorry. I'm really proud of myself for doing that because I am so susceptible of the prove how tough you are attitude. As if that is what gives me value.
