April 21, 2010 I had a heart attack. I am 44 years old. It was one of the scariest moments of my life, and I have been forever changed by it.
My parents are dead. I am not very close to my family. My partner is wonderful and my friends offer a lot of support and fun. But, inside my head I'm alone.
Just me. And the fear.
Who am I now? The grass is green and the wind is warm. I am supposed to be outside but I'm not.
The sun is shining and the birds are singing. I'm supposed to be out there sweating, moving, breathing deep.
But I'm not.
Who am I now? Not the old me, that's for sure. What's the new me like? I don't even know yet.
I have to 'take it easy'. Go slow. Wait, it'll come.
Maybe. I'm not the person I used to be, and I'm not sure who I am now. I just hope I come out better and braver.
