This is my story about the day that the old me died. Although I've shared before about the physical injuries, this is the first time I publicly share about the darkness and loneliness I felt for years after the accident. Feeling confused about why I deserved to live may not make sense to people, but that was part of the darkness.

- Recovery is not just physical; it's emotional and spiritual.

- Life after trauma can feel isolating and confusing.

- Without having the people who was there for me, I would be completely lost.

- Finding purpose is a journey that takes time and a lot of times the worst things that happen to us is the key to finding purpose

- Love + Loyalty + Respect = the most important aspects of a relationship with Family and Friends

- I was trying to understand the world before, but when I started to understand myself, I understood life. Self awareness is the most important thing a human being can focus on to reach fulfillment

- After going through all this, I know for a fact, without any doubt, that I'm alive for a reason and that reason matters more than anything else.
