California 171

My knee has gotten a lot better, this strength and balance is slowly coming back but nowhere near my other knee AKA my left knee is like. It's been a very long process from getting hurt to moving back to San Diego and starting this whole entire rehab process and kind of uprooting my life in reverse, it's very odd.  I'm trying to look at everything from a positive perspective and gets hard sometimes because at the same time nothing feels like it’s going right.  I'm looking forward to the summer and the winter I know that's probably not the best way to go about things is by looking forward to the future and I should stay in the present and focus right now and that is what I've been doing, but it's hard not to be optimistic and be all very giddy about the future when I know there is just positive things ahead. The way that your individual life is going and = your mental state can affect all sorts of things around your life such as your relationship with your partner, your family, and your friends.  In my case it's been impacting my relationship with my girlfriend in particular,  she has been a great support and a very positive person in my life that has been making a huge impact on the way I see this entire timeline of my life and where it's going right now. To believe in yourself is one thing to have someone else believe in you is another thing that's something that's so powerful that can drive you so far and that's exactly what I have which is I'm very grateful for I don't even know if you read these Emma but if you do thank you.

I've really honed in on my mobility in my stretching, which has been taking a great leap forward. For the past couple of years, I've really kind of delayed working on my mobility and my joint health. Now that I've got a pretty severe injury on one of the most complex parts of the body, it has become a huge part of my daily routine. I pretty much will never go a day without stretching or some sort of mobility routine.  If you are reading this, feel free to go follow the Instagram at @covergroundUSA.  I'm not too active on there, but I do post occasionally and planning on posting more in the future. Unfortunately a lot of my content and what I like to put on this website has to do with me going out and exploring being adventurous and appreciating the outdoors. The situation I'm in is kind of preventing that, and I could go be adventurous I could go climb and run, but in terms of my health currently in my knee it just wouldn't be the smart decision for my future. I could sacrifice the time being right now for years down the road on what could be even more valuable and more memorable.
