Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
I’m definitely not going to live to 100, nor do I want to. It’s hard enough to be 4 months away from 60 and deal with permanent paralysis. It’s not going to get better with time .I’m a realist. My big dream is to walk around the block, and at this point, I don’t see it happening anytime soon, but I’m still trying to walk more than 30 steps forward and 30 steps back without my AFO brace. If my husband wasn’t worried about being clumsy, we could try walking together with my brace on and with me holding his arm. It seems like a romantic dream. I hope it happens one day. But there is no way I’m trying to live another 40 years and anyone who wishes that for me is someone who either wants to torture me or someone who’s lucky enough not to understand what it’s like to be paralyzed.
It is possible to live too long, and there are things worse than death.
I’m with ya; turned 60 back in November. ‘Bout the only thing I’m looking forward to is writing full time. Love your musings.
Exactly 💯. Thank you very much ☺️
