@lauren_mcdonough: Nine years ago, I was told I’d never walk again. What you see in this reel is one minute. What you don’t see are the thousands of hours behind it. The pain. The frustration. The fear. The tears. The falls. And, if I’m being completely honest… A whole lot of “f**ck this.” There were days I wanted to give up. Days I questioned whether I’d ever get there. Days where one step felt impossible. But one step became two. Two became ten. And eventually, the impossible became my normal. If you’re in the middle of your own hard season, remember this: Progress rarely looks inspiring while you’re living it. It looks messy. It looks slow. It looks like starting again. Over and over. Keep taking the next step. You never know where it might lead. ❤️
