Me too. All of my hopes and dreams to ever be an astronaut, a professional athlete, a world leader, a cowboy, or a pirate are gone. So what?
Is accepting my reality so bad? Nope.
I can still live a happy, productive, purposeful life by doing what I can do. I can read, write, participate in forums, try to give helpful advice, etc. Last weekend I watched a cat for a friend. So what if I will never own a yacht or climb to the top of Mt. Everest? Boohoo me.
