Hi everybody. Welcome to the blog where I talk about the present.
Above is a photo of my daughter when she was little. I want to dedicate this blog to her. It’s funny but I always think of her as a little kid like this whenever I think of her. It’s inspired me to talk to you about being like I am.
I think I told you before, but I believe you should never look back. When I was a runner, you never look back. When I was a surfer, you never look behind you. When I was a windsurfer, you never look back. And when I was a scuba diver, you never look back because you definitely don’t want to see what’s following you. It could be something like a shark or a barracuda. Something curious. Anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent. Sorry.
What I really want to talk to you about is if you’re in a condition like I am, you know, all messed up, you never want to think about the past and how things were, like, you know, I can’t run like I used to, I can’t walk like I used to. If you were normal, you know, a normal person, you wouldn’t be able to run like you used to anyway. In other words, no matter what condition you’re in, you can never be like you used to be. Don’t look back at the past. Live in the present and always move forward. Try not to freak out about how things are right now. Think about moving forward to make life better. Anyway, that’s a little advice from someone with a head injury, so take it for what it’s worth.
Now, I’ll go back to the image above. If you look in my kid’s eyes, you’ll definitely see that we’re for sure born innocent. Outside influences shape how we are gonna be. It was cool seeing my kid born. She came out from behind the sheets looking around like “What the hell’s going on.” And then I said, “Welcome!” and she looked over at me with a reassuring look. She smiled. Now kids, when they’re just born, aren’t supposed to be able to smile. But she did. It was cool.
Anyway, I keep on trying to walk. I have therapy three times a week. It’s monotonous, but it’s paying off. Hell, at this rate, I’ll be dead by the time I get better. I think I already mentioned that. Anyway, that’s it for this week. Remember, never give up.
Love and miss you all.
Love, B. Nice
