New Memories

I keep thinking about how this journal, well not the journal but my mindset when sitting down to write, is focused on the time before my injury or the time after my injury. I guess that makes sense because the injury was such a pivotal moment in my life, but one thing is for sure, I have got to get off bed rest and get healthy so that we can make new memories.


I can’t in good conscience let past memories be all there is to hold onto. There have to be new ones. They may not be the same or they may not be as wide and free as they were before, but that does not mean we cannot build them.


If I had to define one life goal right now, it would be putting myself on a trajectory that allows us to make new memories together. To fill up Facebook with new check ins and photos. To see new events show up right alongside the old ones and feel proud that we kept going.


We will get there. I believe that. Maybe slower, maybe differently, but together.
