Today hit different 💭💔

December 18 isn’t just another date for me.
It’s 14 years since my spinal cord injury.
And it would’ve been my wedding anniversary too.

I’ll be honest. Getting out of bed today was hard. Really hard.
So I did the only thing I know how to do on days like this ⬇️

I stayed busy.
I went to the gym 💪
I saw the doctor 🩺
I made myself eat 🥗
I’m heading to quad rugby 🏉
And tonight I’ll rest 😴

Some days you don’t know what to do.
So you do what you know you should do.
And sometimes that’s enough.

I’ve never struggled with this date until this year.
Today feels heavy. Quiet. Melancholy.
But I’m still here. Still moving forward. Still figuring it out ⬆️

I also want to say thank you. Truly.
The support through Help Hope Live covered last month and I’m working on next month 🙏
That support matters more than you know.

Things are trending up.
Today is just a hard day.
And we’re going to get through it.

Grateful for this community.
Grateful for every message.
Onward and upward 💙♿️

Where the f**k should I even start 😅🔥
This year was a lot… but October really said “hold my beer” 🍺. Lost my job (not fired — funding dried up and they had to hit pause). My partner moved out. And she took the dog… which yeah, was technically hers, but still felt like losing my best friend of 7 years 🐾💔.

And people keep asking, “You seemed so happy, what happened?” 🤷‍♂️

Here’s the truth:
I fully believe there are three sides to every story—his side, her side, and the messy truth in the middle ⚖️. I’m not here to drag anyone. She gets to live her life, and I get to live mine ✌️.

But I will say this:
Because of my disability ♿️, and because my confidence wasn’t where it should’ve been, I stayed in something I knew wasn’t right for way too long. I didn’t think anyone would love me… so I settled 😔.

And the biggest apology I owe isn’t to anyone else—
it’s to myself ❤️.
For pretending it was love.
For trying to convince myself it was fine.
For lying to everyone, but mostly for lying to me.

Choosing yourself is messy, loud, awkward, hilarious, painful, freeing, and absolutely necessary 💥.

I’m getting my personality back 😏.
I got my peace back 🕊️.
And I remembered I don’t have to stay anywhere that doesn’t feel like home 🏡.

So here’s to snacks that don’t mysteriously disappear 🍪✨, dinners I actually want to eat 🍽️, a schedule built around my life 📅, and a light that finally feels like mine again 💡💙.

Choosing yourself isn’t selfish. It’s survival. And sometimes it’s the wildest, funniest, most chaotic glow-up you’ll ever take 😂🎄♿️💙

P.S. if you know anybody looking for a place right across from Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado… I’ve got a room available with your own bathroom 🏠🚪✨

No more pennies is probably a good call. The rest of his decisions are highly questionable.  Thanks to the state of Colo...
