is it so much to ask? just to be able to ambulate at the tender age of 24? it's been 18 months since I was befallen by permanent injury and this shit isn't getting any easier at all. all day i fantacize about running, then i wake up and realize that I will NEVER experience my passion ever again in my EXISTENCE! I will be dead, buried, and decomposed before I ever experience running again. That hurts so bad. People say that running isn't everything... I say go fuck yourself. Running was the best thing that ever happened to me and by far the most important thing in my life. I don't care about work or school or any of that shit.... I do it but I don't care about it...... running is the only thing I've ever CARED about. i pedal around all day on a bike, hours and hours at a time, and all it does is temporarily distract me from the fact that I can't run. it doesn't fill the void at all. f*** everything dude. do you able bodied motherf***ers realize how lucky you are?
