Is it weird how comfortable I am with this subject? Maybe. It happens daily, to everyone, yet no one ever wants to discuss it. No one ever wants to speak about the people who have passed, it seems but, how else are we meant to keep their spirit alive and have them in our thoughts if we don’t speak on it? You know, bring them up in conversation when you think about them. It will happen to us all, eventually, whether you want to believe it or not. It’s coming. Sooner for some than for others, yes, but, it is inescapable. I went to the first funeral of a peer the summer after my eighth-grade year. I have been to far too many since then, mostly of other peers of mine. It is heartbreaking but, you can’t get around it. That’s how I feel about it. It’s a right of passage. You don’t have to suffer anymore.
Death

Hey, I'm Sarah and I have a brain injury. It has officially been a decade since my family and I’s entire lives were “flipped turned upside down” but, just like in the car accident, I took the brunt of it all and I will continue to do so until the day I die. I have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), what is commonly (or not so commonly) referred to as an “invisible disability” so, yes, I am and I always will be disabled, for the rest of my life. I do have my struggles as I will for the remainder of my days but, when I tell you that the accident was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I truly mean it. Now, that may seem odd to you, am I right? It was and it still is the best thing to ever happen to me, in my eyes. Can I tell you why? It has weeded out everyone who was “friends” with me for reasons other than the right reasons to be someone's friend, it has brought my focus back to the important things in life like my family, my overall health, and my work. Three things, well two, that I have complete control over. This is a place for me to remember and write down my thoughts. I hope you guys enjoy them! View more posts
