A Simple Word...


To The Elderly...

If anyone knows me well, they will know that I have scoliosis or in laymons terms, a curvature in the spine that pinches nerves  and causes pain and other symptoms to occur. This is a very painful and annoying disability. I wish I could get rid of it quicker but I am on the road to recovery.

However, in this world the older generations love to pick and nip at you. Yes I understand that the young ones love to complain about things that happen in this world and although I may be one of them, I do not find it all too funny when I get a pinch in my back and some grandma has to walk up to me say, "Wait till you get our age."

Ma'am I am not amused by your little humorous moment of how you are so much older than us. I feel like I am 80. I had to take four days off of work due to my back going out and the inability get up from laying on my back. I was literally crying as I felt my self the inability to get up and go to work. I had just come back from an adjustment and this is what I get. I was helpless. I had to crawl. I felt like that damn lady from the commercial, "Help I am falling and I can't get up!" It feels so damn wrong that I at the age of 23 have to feel this way. I don't get all to bad anymore but I do feel bad a lot of times. It can be hard to walk and hard to stand. Sometimes even sitting hurts. and when I say hurts I mean to the point of no return. I can only damn it all imagine what it will be like at 50. I will kill myself if I am worse. I am not just a young one crying about life. I am a young one feeling the equivalent to the broken old man in a possible wheel chair. No words can describe the pain that I went through that day. I feel you all who go through the same pain no matter the injury.  So, yeah, bitch please!

Though I do have to put myself on the spot light for a bit and say I do the same damn thing to kids. I know we all do it. Something happens and the kid starts crying and we get pissed. "Wait till you get to college" kind of  moment. Kids no nothing of what is happening. They are new to the experience. I don't know the circumstances so I guess I just need to follow my own piece of advice and not judge. Making that comparison that in the elderly's eyes we are just babies is definitely a big sign of maturity. So I, in return will not judge kids... so damn it old people....


Quit Judging Me!
