Hey dudes! Let’s talk about something that’s often overlooked during recovery, that is, still leading a fulfilling life! I had an epiphany the other day. I realized that the reason I’m going through rehab is to help live an exciting and enjoyable life. So, I realised that as important as my rehab is, I can’t let it distract me from living the rest of my life. Of course, don’t engage in activities that are only going to impede/dampen your progress. For example, as fun as drinking used to be, I know how detrimental it would be to my rehab, so I stay away from it. But! If there’s something fun and safe you wanna do, don’t be scared to go for it! I encourage it actually. If you’ve got a support worker, it’s even easier. What I do with them is get their ticket for free so that we get two tickets for the price of one and then split it 50/50! I did this to get into the Kid LAROI when he was here. I had such a good time that night, the people loved me, and I even got hit on! I felt like royalty when the crowd opened up and put me in the centre of the mosh! How crazy??! Back to the point though. Enjoy life dude, I don't know your circumstances, but for me, I’m still here so I'm trying to make the most of it and so should you! So, what are you gonna do?? Share your ideas to get the inspo rolling but keep it PG!!!! #ABI #TBI #braininjuryawareness #headstogetherforabi #headstogetherforbraininjury #nonprofit #braininjury #acquiredbraininjury #headinjury #traumaticbraininjury #braininjurysupport #mentalwellbeing #braininjuryadvocacy #inclusivity #LivedExperience #Volunteering #ABIAwareness #ABISurvivor #TBISurvivor #braininjurysurvivor #YouCantBeWhatYouCantSee #UnderstandMeUnderstandMyBrainInjury #YouCantUnderstandWhatYouDontKnow #understandingbraininjury #20yearsHeadsTogether #differentnotbroken

To kick off the New Year, we asked our community to share stories about pushing yourself to grow and take control and how to deal with this through challenging times. Growing up and figuring out your identity and aspirations can be a challenging task for any young person. However, for those facing brain injuries, invisible disabilities, and unconscious biases, along with physical and mental barriers, things can become even more complex and overwhelming. With so many voices and opinions telling you what is important, it can be intimidating to step into the realm of self-advocacy and pursue your dreams. Our community stories really show the power of pushing through, making your own decisions, and overcoming the barriers and we hope that they encourage and guide others to drive for independence, for choice and for always having a voice. #ABI #TBI #braininjuryawareness #headstogetherforbraininjury #nonprofit #braininjury #acquiredbraininjury #headinjury #traumaticbraininjury #braininjurysupport #mentalwellbeing #braininjuryadvocacy #inclusivity #LivedExperience #Volunteering #ABIAwareness #ABISurvivor #TBISurvivor #braininjurysurvivor #YouCantBeWhatYouCantSee #UnderstandMeUnderstandMyBrainInjury #YouCantUnderstandWhatYouDontKnow #understandingbraininjury #20yearsHeadsTogether #differentnotbroken
