Helping someone and being nice is one thing, feeling sorry for someone is another. Don’t confuse these two. I think this goes to any problem in life, for anyone. There are some things pity just can’t and won’t fix. Don’t feel sorry; help. Help, when needed helps us move forward; pity just makes us sink … Continue reading Pity and help are two very different things, just be happy
As I’ve already said, I was very lucky, but I think all traumatic brain injury survivors should be treated with the same care I was.

Mistakes have power, learn from them
I just saw this. It's painful to be able to say I remember those feelings, but it's true, I do because I had the same feelings when it was me. I remember crying.

After my TBI I had to learn how to walk, after months of barely moving. Once I learned how to walk, I wanted to run again. Here I am learning how to run in therapies. Years before the accident I started to run for fun. After the accident I didn’t think I would be able … Continue reading Why I run
Today I took a big step… actually; it was a few big steps. I crossed a highway. Of course I wasn’t alone, and I fought so we could walk somewhere else. When I didn’t get my way, I fought so that we would cross the street through the crosswalk. I was able to get my … Continue reading My big steps

But there is just one thing that chocked me. While we were leaving the beach, I noticed that there … Continue reading ¿Que pasa?
I don’t want to complain about this. I don’t want to sound stupid, selfish, or ungrateful; but it’s just something that I noticed in the gym this morning. I have seen it before and it bothers me. It’s the people who go to the gym to be able to say, “I went to the gym” … Continue reading Just step away from the phone…
I have been thinking about what to write next and I started writing but I just didn’t like any of it. So I took a break. I was thinking about some thing else and then it just came to me. I was trying to write about the past, about stuff that happened to me. But … Continue reading What’s next?
