“For once, I wasn’t a disappointment to old friends.
Just by being alive.
By finding my way back to them. I
had exceeded all expectations.
They gave me the most precious gift.
Letting me see myself through their eyes.
I was a living miracle.
The embodiment of hope.
Of victory against overwhelming odds.
I was the reason they got up every morning to do their impossible job.
It was beautiful.
I was beautiful.
I wished I could make my mum feel the way I felt in that moment.”
― Broken Girl: A true story

“Vigilant machines and attentive medical staff made sure I remained technically alive.
Yet not quite alive.
My corporeal self was strapped to the bed.
A last-ditch attempt to tether me to the mortal realm.
The rest of me was treading the slackline between this dimension and the next.”

“But, in my experience, the greatest casualty of a brain injury is friendship.
The defining symptom is loneliness.
I came home to watch my friends leave me.
One by one.”

“In some ways I was a teenager again.
Excited and earnest and innocent and generous and envious and insecure and overconfident and vulnerable and curious and secretive and honest and hopeful and overwhelmed.
I still loved me.”

My search will continue.
But I am enough as I am.”
