I used to be

so young and feel so strong.

What happened, and where does all the time go.

And will things start to brighten up again, or will I be stuck in this lane that is going nowhere?

The feeling of not being able to shake this weakness feels like torture to the highest degree.

But I know the time will come when my body is fighting back and moving with grace and strength again.

And I will know the battle behind me was a test, and even if I may have had some weak moments, I kept moving forward.

And those moments will continue to come as my battle is far from over, and I know to embrace my struggles will get me where I need to be physically and mentally.

One day and one moment are all it takes to break and heal me with clarity and certainty I thought I’d never receive or deserve.
