The other day I heard the song by Simple Plan - Welcome to
my Life
in those first few early yes of dealing with FA this song said pretty
much how I was feeling. I continued to feel this way for a few years and then
one day it all changed.
(To save myself some time here is a link to my story it explains
it all)
(Look at me here... not very happy and i am pretty
I may have been listening to Simple Plan)
It just takes Time
My life has got a lot better from skydiving, gigs/festival
to all the great work I’ve been doing with BU Carer & Service User Partnership thanks to them I got to do my
first ever solo talk.
Oh and I even play
wheelchair rugby
Which I’ll be
honest I stink at compared to my team mates, but I try. This past Sunday we had
training and to be fair I probably played the best I ever have... I was
doing some good blocking,: passing from the inbound and I even managed to catch
the ball which led to my team scoring happy days so must be improving.
That is my key word
for today “Try”
And that is going
out to everybody, try something new, try something old just try...
2 things are
probably going to happen, 1. You get a huge sense of gratification or 2. You realise
it wasn’t for you and that’s okay because you still gave it a shot.
I’ll be straight up
and honest with you before the first wheelchair rugby tester session, I had all
the questions going around in my head what if I am not good enough? Thanks to
FA I have nothing to offer this game and so on so on.
You know what I just
thought screw it I’m just going to see what happens and I am very glad I gave
wheelchair rugby a shot turns out I like it and I have meet bunch of wonderful
people who I now class as family.
Okay so I still am
bad at a lot of it, but I just stick to what I am good at and that’s blocking
but the important reason here is to Try because life is too short.
Whether you have FA
like myself, wheelchair user or not, whatever your disability heck it doesn’t
matter even if you are ably bodied, get out there and try.
I guess what I am trying to say with Time and some Will you
can turn your life from Dark to Light, little Star Wars reference there.
