Healing has never come easily to me.
I struggle with sitting still. By letting my body recover. By giving myself permission to rest without feeling like I’m failing. Whether I’m healing from a long day, an illness, or emotional exhaustion, slowing down can feel like giving up.
But that belief has cost me more than once.
Living with cerebral palsy means my body needs more time to recover. Healing looks different for me—it’s slower, less predictable, and often layered. I learned that deeply when I broke my leg. What should have been a simple recovery turned into two years of healing because my body kept rebreaking the same injury.
That experience changed me.
It taught me that healing is not something you force. It’s something you allow.
Healing isn’t linear.
Healing doesn’t follow timelines.
Healing requires patience, surrender, and compassion.
I’m learning that taking time to heal isn’t giving up on myself—it’s how I protect my future. It’s how I respect the body that carries me through my life.
Today, I’m grateful for healing. For the slow kind. The imperfect kind. The kind that teaches me to pause without guilt.
