I clicked on this article expecting a sob story that thrummed the heart strings of some Medium HQ folk(s) - but wow, I leave this humbled, inspired, and in deep thought.
Mia, you're a FABULOUS writer - the depth of detail in your visceral descriptions of the physical is akin to that of Dostoevsky's in the psychological.
More so, the multiple selves and introspective elements are equally engaging - and thought-provoking.
I skimmed past the intro but the rest of the article had me hooked - thank you for writing this! I have no doubt you'll bounce back from this ordeal stronger than ever.
Your medium limp will definitely prove a Medium Lamp - illuminating and inspiring the many who read this. May you recover well and regain all your spontaneous, sporty, and strong Mias!
