"What would you do if your dream of a pain and a completely symptom free life, came true?”
This years blog theme 'Dreaming of a World without Headache & Migraine' is a tough one. As a little girl I was taught to never give up, dream big, anything is possible. As an adult, I have learned the cruel reality that dreams don't always come true. That hard work doesn't always pay off. And that some things just aren't possible. I don't mean to come off as negative, I have just learned that while I can control the way I react to life; I can't always control life.
I have struggled for the last 5 years to stop wishing for what my life used to be and to not hope for things outside of my reach. I try to face every day as a new opportunity within itself. I wake up each morning to meet who I will be that day. This is the way I seem to be most successful at keeping the dreaded depression at bay.
When I first read the theme for this years blog challenge I considered sitting out because dreaming tends to lead me to more pain. But at this point I am up for anything.....
If I could wake up tomorrow and I was completely pain free and symptom free I would join the land of the living again. I would make plans more than 2 hours ahead of time. I would go and get a job and work towards achieving my license in Mental Health Counseling. I would spend as much time with my family and friends just enjoying life. And I would try to have a baby.
That being said, if I wake up tomorrow and my dreams do not come true, I will continue to grasp every bit of hope I can find to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I will continue to be thankful for those who support me. I will keep looking for the lesson I am supposed to be learning.
You make me so proud to be a part of your journey!
