DAY BY DAY
Heavens knows I’ve tried many times to leave this godforsaken earth.
But heaven has its own plan and keeps sending me back almost to rebirth.
It’s hard to start from scratch when you’re 24 like me.
Everyone watches me like a hawk in fear that I’ll hurt me.
But my soul tells me that I’m okay and everything else will be too.
Right now it’s hard for them to see because they can’t take a walk in my shoes.
It’s a fickle thing the lives we lead going day by day.
But now day by day is all I know so there is not much more to say.
I wrote that about 5 years ago... Not knowing at the time that at age 26 I would nearly pull it off. But it was that very experience that has led me to where I am today.
Today, at age 29, I am 5 weeks in to my first term of nursing school working toward an A.S. degree. Hoping with all my heart that what I have gone through during my road to wellness can be put to some use.
I hope that I am able to make it through nursing school and become an RN, eventually helping at least one person avoid riding that same roller coaster as I did. I want to do for others what the wonderful nurses along my journey have done for me. Which not only includes helping someone to find wellness, but helping them to find the courage, confidence, and strength to continue to fight and over come their illness.
So now, day by day, I navigate through my newly found wellness and through all the new things life brings, such as nursing school. So here is to the past, the present, and the future... and to taking it day by day.
