Wyoming 162
This isn’t the winter season that I imagined having not even close to planned but as most things go most don’t happen according to plan so maybe it was my mistake on having such a concrete plan for this winter season and expecting it to go as smooth as I thought. I won’t share too much about what will happen in the next month it is something that I wasn’t expecting to happen throughout this time out here. I fractured my fibula early November and that healed relatively quick not soon after I I suffered a tear in my meniscus a huge setback not just for the winter season but for the long term in my life. Most people already know that the knees are extremely fragile and delicate part of the body so having an injury to that body part is extremely damaging not only to my confidence but to my ability to do things at my full capability. It sounds like I’m giving up but I’m not I’m being realistic on what I might have to do and what the next actions in my life I might have to take. I try very hard to remain in the present and take it as I go though the future is hard to close your eyes to.
Whatever comes out of the remaining winter and this year I hope to make the best of it and come back stronger with even a better ability on what I’m capable of. I’m extremely fortunate to have a family that is stable and have a girlfriend that is very understanding and loving under all conditions I am a truly lucky guy.
I believe these road bumps these obstacles are meant to happen whether it’s a damaging injury to the body or extreme financial struggles whatever it might be. Take time to be sad but make sure you know when that time to be sad needs to come to an end. Pick yourself up and think of yourself as lucky to have certain struggles for the difficulties in life create a better you and for me to say that these are real life threatening struggles is insulting to people around the world with no roof over their head, no food and water, and no family because those are things that the majority of us will never understand truthfully. My struggles and the struggles that most of us go through are secretly blessings that the next person wishes they had. It sounds as if I’m disregarding peoples hardships but I’m not I’m simply saying looks at your struggles as blessings. When I say “most of us” I’m speaking onof western society and the people I’ve come across in my short life.
Hard times create hard men and hard men create easy times.
