Dealing with my seemingly
countless back problems
has been trying
to say the least, but
despite it all I've mostly been able to
remain somewhat positive.
However,
there are days...
days where I just feel
completely and utterly
disheartened,
frustrated,
misunderstood,
alone.
I rarely complain or
even let people around me
know how bad it can be.
I can do what everyone else can.
I know that.
I just have to do it while in
moderate to severe pain.
Which at just shy of 26 years old...
I think is unfair.
Nursing is the only career
I've ever wanted.
It's the ONE thing I've been chasing.
The only thing I've felt
remotely passionate about
in my adult life for any
extended period of time.
So when people tell me I'm
going into the wrong profession
and should rethink my decision...
well, I want to tell them to fuck go themselves
because why should I have to give up
the only thing I've ever wanted
due to something completely
beyond my control?
I'm willing to take my chances.

Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't/can or can't do. How many people in this world have been told they'd never walk again after an accident, only to run marathons within mere years? You are the only one that can ever decide what you can or can't do.
ReplyDeleteThere are things you can do to manage your situation and overcome most (if not all) of your pain. You have a passion, that's more than most people can claim... with passion usually comes adversity and opposition; Fight it, beat it, make it your new passion to research and do whatever it takes to realize your dream.
