Bianca Haase Instagram – Today marks one month since I had to have an emergency surgery that my doctor says “couldn’t have waited even 15 more minutes,” and before anyone jumps to the conclusion that I’m looking for attention, I assure you I’m not. In the hospital, due to the physical state I was in after surgery, I was given a wristband reading “Fall Risk” (no I didn’t fall down a flight of stairs). After being sequestered to my apartment due to pain and immobility, I’ve realized what a hilarious metaphor this was for my life and how immeasurably proud I am of that. Despite what I’d like to describe as better judgment, I’ve often been willing to risk it all for what I believe in and what I want, and because of that, I’ve fallen often. Usually I’ve been able to pick myself up quickly and forge ahead, but for some reason, this week, I faltered. Falling hurts, and a bevy of bruises from past hardships makes it easy to want to stay down. Sorrow and sadness can be strangely comforting at times. But then I realized something, my bruises are not scars, they are badges. I am not unlucky or undeserving, I have simply chosen the life of a Fall Risk because I have been committed to taking chances and leaps with my whole heart, and no matter what, I will never stop. So here I am, selfie and all saying: be a fall risk. Hate this post or don’t. Like my picture or not. In the words of Coach Taylor, “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.” (I will not confirm nor deny whether or not a Friday Night Lights binge session occurred.) *** just want to say thanks to everyone who has messaged me saying this resonated with them; love you all ❤️❤️ | Posted on 28/Jul/2018 23:07:32
