community feature: love your brain

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.”

—Albert Schweitzer

Community has come to mean so much more to me than ever before this past year.

I used to pride myself on doing it all on my own. I told myself I didn’t need anyone. I liked to be the person others needed; I didn’t know how to accept support from others.

Don’t get me wrong, deep down I wanted to fit in, I wanted to be part a tribe, I wanted to trust others. I just didn’t know how.

When I experienced a traumatic brain injury in August 2018, my world changed. I wouldn’t have gotten through the aftermath without community: people who understood (or didn’t) and supported me in countless ways. I am so grateful to each person who showed up for me!

In this post, I’m sharing more about traumatic brain injury and the community that has helped me develop resilience. I am so excited to introduce you to this brave community. 

Thank you for reading. Xo.
