Forgive those who do not understand.

You “look” fine, but you’re not.

I see it all the time on concussion support pages.

"Don't tell me I look fine. You don't know how I feel.

And that's true. Every head injury is completely different — so different that even others living with head injuries can't fully understand what you're going through.

But here's what I want you to consider.

We have to forgive everyone who says the wrong thing. Everyone who doesn't understand. Everyone who can't quite empathize the way we need them to.

Because if we carry the anger, the rage, the irritability, the tension — all of it — we are only standing in the way of our own healing.

Yes. I said healing.

With the right nutrition, the right supplementation, a willingness to learn your own body and brain, and the courage to release emotional attachments to the past — to truly forgive the incident, or incidents, that changed your life — everything can be different.

You may never be the person you were before.

But what if you came back better?

What if you came back as the person you were always meant to be, instead of the person you learned to be just to cope?

I'm here to tell you — that is a beautiful thing.

Say it out loud right now:

I give myself permission to heal.

Now go write down what being healed looks and feels like for you. Put it somewhere you'll see it every day. Hold it in your hands, breathe, and say it again.

I give myself permission to heal.
