August 10, 2025 – Unspoken Patience

Humility carved by high-level injury.

Independence for me requires other people’s precision — a charger plugged in just right, a transfer done safely, a tone of voice that respects both need and dignity.

Patience isn’t optional. It’s survival.

And gratitude doesn’t erase the grief that comes with needing help.

There’s tension between being thankful and being tired of asking.

But there’s beauty in that tension — in learning that pride can bend without breaking, that asking doesn’t make you weak, and that patience isn’t passive. It’s endurance shaped like grace.
