What Everyone Is Saying


Instincts: This is bad.

Trainer:Breath because you have to

Coaches: Be strong because it's important

Parents: Just be hopeful because it is the only thing you can do

 

Trainer: Breath because you have to

Teammates: Don't worry though, it's okay to cry

Parents: Just be hopeful because it's the only thing you can do

Me: I'm so confused by these mixed signals of sadness and strength

 

Teammates: Don't worry though it's okay to cry

Doctors: The road to recovery is lenghtening and youre steps are shortening

Me: I'm so confused by these mixed messages of sadness and strength

Me: But feel free to tell me to feel better one more time

 

Doctors: The road to recovery is lengthening and your steps seem to be shortening

Coaches: Be strong because it's important

Me: But feel free to tell me to feel better one more time

Instincts: This is bad.
