New Norm

I am still discovering my new norm.

Back to work.

Back to some sort of normalcy.

However nothing is “normal”.

I cannot drive.

I am still dependent.

I cannot be without mind fogging medications.

My wings of freedom cut.

Brain struggling to grasp what it used to do.

Yes, I’m loving being back to work.

Seeing my friends on a daily basis.

Going into work and home with my friend.

Able to be in person for Eagles games.

However, I am mentally and physically drained.

As soon as I do one activity I love for a long duration.

I am dead.

My energy depleted.

Unable to concentrate.

Is it work?

Is it the medication?

Is it using my brain more than I was?

Is it the screens?

Is it socialization?

Honestly, will I ever know?

Probably not without trail and error.

This journey definitely has aged me.

Made me grow more mentally.

Made my body age past 26.

Here’s to hope.

Here’s to determination.

Here’s to taking it one step at a time.

Here’s to discovering my new norm,

However long it may take.

Be bold.
