I’m Not Broken

I’m not broken.

I never was, I simply did not have the tools I needed to realize that.

There are things, demons that I must still face. But with hard work and guidance, I know I can face them.

I’m not broken.

I’ve never let myself truly have a passion before, now I see something to be passionate about. Something I have accepted, that I want.

I’m not broken.

Amen brother. In fact, not only are you not broken, but you are exactly what many people in the world need.

I can not tell you how many years I spend feeling broken because I have diabetes. It’s a huge reason why I used to hide it from the world. Sometimes I honestly still do feel broken. But I’m working on it, and having the DOC has helped me accept that diabetes is not a flaw.

  Yes, it’s hard not to feel that way and the DOC and everyone I have met thru advocacy and blogging have been invaluable to me… would not trade a single moment of it

Powerful.

what is it that you have set your sights on being passionate about?

  Thanks Chris, advocacy is where I’m setting my sights…

Passion is terrifying. It is impossible to put things “out there” without letting things “in.”

  It is the letting things in part that has been so problematic for me and it’ll be something I have to work on quite a bit more, but it doesn’t scare me like it used to.
  
  On passion, I think it’ll be an interesting collaboration between my Why Bother and Will Bother attitudes
  
  Thanks!
