Wyoming 158

This has been the unlucky winter I came into the winter season with a fractured fibula from climbing and shortly afterwards that healed I got a partial tear in my meniscus from a skiing accident. I now own a boot for my ankle and a brace for my knee I don’t have a timeline yet on recovery for my knee until I get an MRI. I am staying optimistic through this and whatever happens will be just another obstacle I will have to overcome. I really wasn’t born into any real difficult hardship let’s get that straight if you were born in San Diego Let’s be real here my hardships growing up in San Diego are nothing compared to someone growing up in some run down neighborhood in Detroit. I was blessed and very fortunate to have a roof over my head and food every single day and a family that cares about me that doesn’t take away from the fact that my family had its own issues I had my own challenges growing up but realistically it was nothing that was going to set me back in life drastically. As I got older I realized life is really on easy mode for a lot of us we think it’s hard but realistically very easy I create my own hardships my own challenges if I have nothing to overcome then I’m simply living life on cruise control. I left college knowing that was going to create a hardship for me if I would’ve stayed in college that would’ve been another hardship but all in all again those are not real hardships they are just things that us regular people get the privilege to choose from we get to choose what struggle we want unlike other people. These injuries that I have had to deal with in thepast two months I didn’t bring that onto my self I brought them through the activities that I do so now it’s my responsibility to persevere and come back stronger faster and a more confident person of my self.  
We’re coming to the end of the year soon and beginning a new chapter i’m grateful that I get to start off this new year with a wonderful girlfriend/best friend fortunately she is one of those people that makes life slightly easier to go through when these hardships are happening. To have stumbled upon such a beautiful smart soul is something that I don’t think comes so often in life. So if Emma you’re reading this thank you you’re a wonderful person and I’ll make sure to cherish everyday with you.
