Slow but steady wins the race..

Recovering from a stroke drains every last bit of your energy, making day to day tasks seem a struggle..
As time goes on you realise you have to accept your flaws and what you are incapable of doing, this version of 'normal' everyone recovering wants to be, needs to be forgotten..

You learn that this version of 'normal' and trying to be who you were, is impossible and stupid.

You tried so hard to be something that you will never ever be again,
I learnt that's a good thing..

Your recovery slows down, you knew that it would
But you chose not to accept the reality of recovery

You realise that you can only accept what your brain tries to learn and accept how it's getting exhausted
Exhausted of you constantly pushing it too hard to become your strange version of 'normal'

If everyone was the same
The world would be boring..

Then it hits you, infact your brain realises that you finally just need to recover.

You may be left heartbroken; upset and hurt, full of angry emotions that you feel will never go.
But they do, they just disappear, the memories of everything that happened becomes a distant memory, still there but not on your mind constantly.
Learn to love yourself..

The accusations of hating your brain do stop, you can't change what's happened you can only recover.
And this time no doctors nurses or consultants can tell you how far you will go.

Because at first you're stuck in a mind of confusion

But it gets better
You can recover at your own pace

Because
Slow but steady wins the race - consistent, effective effort leads to success..
