The Lyrics that Inspired It All

"And the years passed like scenes of a show, the professor said to write what you know, looking backwards might be the only way to move forward". Taylor Swift, The Manuscript, TTPD, 2024

Today on The Life of a Concussion Girl: the heartbreak of losing my craft. 🧵💔

After my brain injury, sewing made my PCS symptoms crash. I felt like I’d lost the “maker” part of me. 

But as Taylor says, “I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time.” 🖤

Sourdough became my way of rising and how I reclaimed my agency. It’s my rehab, my training, and my reminder that I am more than a patient. I am still a creator. 🍞✨

🥖💙Quote of the week 💙🥖 I’ve lived inside the lyri 🥖💙Quote of the week 💙🥖

I’ve lived inside the lyrics to YOYOK ever since developing my concussion. Recovery is such a lonely road, and there have been so many times I felt like I was truly on my own. But what keeps me going is the shift Taylor makes at the end of the song: ‘You can face this.’

✨ New Post this Wednesday ✨

It’s all about how I’m entering my ‘Sourdough Era’ (just like @taylorswift ) as a form of neuro and vestibular rehabilitation. I’m using it to reconnect with my old self and to prove to those who say “it’s just anxiety” that I am still here, and I am still capable of learning. 🥖💪

I’m miserable! And nobody even knows!🤍 🎶🇳🇱 Trave I’m miserable! And nobody even knows!🤍 🎶🇳🇱 

Traveling the Netherlands with a concussion has been a masterclass in ‘faking it ‘til you make it.’

Behind every beautiful photo is a battle with headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. My brain has been in total sensory overload, but I’ve pushed through to be with my family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

It was good for my soul, even if it was hard on my head.

To anyone else doing it with a broken brain right now, you are not alone. 🧠🫶🏻

I wrote about why I continue to prioritise these trips in my post, "hell was the journey but it brought me heaven." Link in bio.

This week’s post is about letting go of the “old me” to make room for the “new me”. Work over recovery. That was the old me. 📉 But not anymore. 

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s live.
