Bouncing Back

I came to realize that many people can misinterpret what a writer writes. Those of you who were able to read the entry I removed titled “Relapse” may have misinterpreted my writing when I said “I felt bad or weak about what I was about to write” and when I said “I felt I let people down whom were looking up to me”. Some may have interpreted it as neglectful, resentful, and regretful that I smoked pot and the people I did it with. Ninety percent of my readers that are fallowing me either have cerebral palsy, some other disability, and some are parents of children with disabilities. When I said what I quoted above I was ultimately targeting those readers and potential readers like them. These readers find my experiences and my style of writing empowering, insightful, and I have became a person they look up to. I made the mistake by assuming that all readers would understand that.

I do not regret the things I did that I changed, nor do I resort to blaming other for my “Relapse”; therefore, I have never written a single line implying otherwise. I did the thing I did on my own. When I started writing I had the mentality the up’s and down’s, trial’s and error’s, or the habits I started and broke I share; however, I wanted to show that you did not have to retreat. I wanted to show that you can bounce back and get right back on a more productive track.

I have experienced a lot and have witnessed other go through habits that were not so good to know that it is hard for some people to bounce back for the better. There is still hope. There is still room for improvement. We can overcome the improbable, the fear, and the habits that binds us to a still life. However, I wanted to show with my life experience we can get right back up from a fall. No matter how times we fall we can bounce right back.
