I'm Healthy Again, Is That a Problem?

It’s been a journey. Yeah, I’m not going to lie and act like I’ve had a tough life, or gone through some things that almost everyone has gone through. What I’ve gone through, is, in fact, probably even less than the average struggle of an average person.

However, over the past couple years it just felt like hit after hit. Every time I started to get back on my feet, something else came along to knock me back down.

Those who have been following my journey for a while know that my latest challenge was a massive knee injury while playing. I blew my ACL, tore my LCL and broke my meniscus in 2 places. Not only did that injury cost me time, but it cost me my entire life savings in surgeries, physio, and lost work.

But what most don’t really know is that the injury was actually the result of playing a sport that saved me from the last hit I took.

At the end of Covid, I was absolutely saved by the sport of padel.

Padel was a way for me to find social interaction, a new thing to learn, and a reason to go outside.

Since the end of high school, I’ve battled with bouts of depression. They come at times in my life where I get bored, or have to make heavy decisions. It also comes at times where I lose balance in my life.
