2013 ~ 2019
Sometimes I have these moments where I feel bad for myself, pity myself, get angry at and hate myself because of my condition..
Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, and every chronic pain condition is not just physical, it's mental..
I know I have every right to be upset at the fact that my pain is constant and unrelenting while others are healthy, enjoying life. At how my life stopped before it really had a chance to start. I sometimes feel like I'm behind everyone else my age (which in a way I am) and it hurts, it breaks my heart at times.
But reminding myself of how far I've come, and the fact that I'm so incredibly blessed to function at the level I am (when other warriors with my condition cannot), is something I do to survive, not just to "stay positive" but to survive.
There are days like this weekend where I can hardly move to use the bathroom, and there are other days where I am able to fight and go to work and to the studio, to hit my mat, or spend time with loved ones.. and that what keeps me going.
I'm extremely proud of how far I've come, and where I'm at today. I function with a level of pain that normal people wouldn't be able to even fathom but I do it. Because I'm strong, I'm a fighter, a chronic pain warrior, and absolutely nothing can get in my way or stop me from living my life and achieving my goals..
Just had to get that off my chest.

Stay blessed 🙏🏽💕
