26 Things that came to fruition after being hospitalized with sepsis.
1. A degree is only good while you’re here.
2. Sometimes you forget how far you come or be in deep focus.
3. You control what you can control everything else is truly non issues, trust the process.
4. Some things are personal battles.
5. Just because you’re in a battle doesn’t mean you’re alone.
6. Whether you know it not people are in you’re corner and people are watching you.
7. I have jerks for friends but I love them and it’s reciprocal no lie they told me “At least you’re not dead.” lol
8. This is only for a season it’s not forever.

10. Positive vibes is fuel for a lot I refuse to take myself too serious.
11. You miss certain things when you cant do them (drawing, running, porcelain to name a few).

It took some courage to see these pictures of myself and I still have gag orders on people that are close to me, I shoud’ve made them sign nda’s. I may struggle to get over this but i’m gonna keep on trucking.
