1/5 On September 29, I shared my first tweet. This weekend, I’ve reached over 1000 followers.

Thank you all so much! I appreciate every interaction I’ve had with you, and I can’t wait to connect with you more.

I think it’s time to share what brought me to twitter.

2/5 I’ve always wanted to help people online and I’ve always had plans to do so in the future.

But I was a planner, with future ambitions swimming through my mind, and very little action to speak of.

I needed a wake up call to move into action, and this Summer, I got mine.
3/5 I was boating with some friends and family in Northern Idaho, learning how to ride a Wake Foil behind the boat.

It was an incredibly fun experience, and after many failures, I was starting to get a hang of it!

Pretty cool, right?
4/5 Then, I took another fall.

But it wasn’t that simple this time.

This time, I got my neck caught in the tow rope.

I was rushed to the hospital.

I had fractured my thyroid cartilage, and with the swelling threatening to close my airway, I was rushed into emergency surgery.
5/5 It went well. My airway relaxed, and the cartilage was stitched together.

But I couldn’t speak for two weeks.

It was a time of depressing reflection. Death didn’t seem so far away after that, u know?

Made this account the next day, and I’m so glad I did!

Thank you all!
