My
brain injury, itself, is The Devil, since it limits me in what I can do. It
inhibits me from living freely, since I have to choose and weight the
consequences of doing an activity. If I go to a party, I will become
overstimulated by the people, noise, and disruption to my daily routine. This
means two days after the party of not leaving my house and living in darkened
rooms. In response, I employ creative problem-solving to deal with each
challenge as it presents itself.
The
card that reflects me now is The Hanged Man. Now upside down in my life, I have
a different perspective on life. After nearly dying and then coming back to
life, I live between two worlds. For me, life becomes a paradox as I navigate
in a new world. For these reasons, I see my life with ebbs and flows instead of
a Hero’s Journey.
