Admitting Defeat

Daily writing prompt
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

Admitting and acknowledging that I can’t keep faking being well. Choosing to be less sick and getting more sleep.

Finally caving and not pretending I can walk properly.

Accepting that I’ll never have the same income again.

I had to decide to have a life-altering surgery too.

I feel like it was giving up.

  1. Acknowledging that I am sick and disabled.
    • Instead of pushing myself and risking an early death.
  2. Voluntarily having a hysterectomy that is life-altering.
    • Instead of potential catastrophic bleeding.
