Toughing it out

There are only that many things that you can tough out... And a knee injury is not one of them. My MRI results came back pretty bleak; as if my acl tear was not enough, I also tore my meniscus, partially tore another ligament and add a fracture to the party.

This year has been a pretty tough year. I lost my favorite sport, I lost my lover, I lost my best friend. And when I thought life was finally nice to me, it went "just kidding" and slapped me on the face.

I wonder why these things happen to me. Things always happen for a reason and in hindsight, everything will make sense. But right now, nothing does.  I'm in a bad situation but there will always be someone in worse. The only thing I can do is to stay positive and hope that something good can come out of this.

At this point I am still trying to tough it out. We fall down. We get up. We move on. Life doesn't stop for anyone and it's up to us whether or not to keep lying there in pain, or to pick yourself up and start grinding your way out.

I choose the latter.
