You know how to work around it.
๐๏ธYou pick the chair that hurts less.
๐งฆYou put your socks on sitting down.
๐You keep ibuprofen in the car, the kitchen, and your bag.
You've had it long enough that it stopped being a problem and became a personality trait.
And when someone asks, you say you're fine. Because compared to last year, you are.
Here's the thing though. Getting used to something is not the same as getting better.
Your body adapted. It found ways to move that hurt less, and you stopped noticing you were doing it.
That's not a weakness. That's a body doing its job with what it has.
But adapting around something for years is different from addressing it.
You're not too old for this. You're not being dramatic.
You've just been carrying it quietly for a long time.
๐Save this if you've been working around something.
โถ๏ธThen send it to the person who says "I'm fine" while holding their back.
