Not a 'stroke survivor'

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style" - Maya Angelou

Theres this term that people whove suffered a stroke tend to class themselves as
'Stroke survivors' putting themselves in a category of whats happened to them.
Forever reminding themselves of a time in their life they despise.

Whenever I see people tweeting who've suffered a stroke its like they've 'been accepted' but in my eyes I want to be confident in how far I have come & how far I will go.

Not to be classed as surviving, but to focus on life.
