"Let's see... I threw my back out and wound up on the sofa for three days, moving a trowel full of dirt from a bag to a planter. I developed cataracts in both eyes. Yes, both. Years of terrible work posture (I assume) led to a bulging disk in my neck."
"My right knee can tell when it's going to rain. I don't really drink anymore because the hangovers last for days and just aren't worth it. Sleeping in a weird position means at least one full day of back/neck/shoulder pain."
"Falling asleep is hard. Staying asleep is hard. Waking up rested is a pipe dream. Every so often, I get to wake up in a pool of my own sweat..."
"But, I wake up. I'm at a good place in a career I love. I care less about what others think with each passing day. I have found friends and activities that bring me joy."
