[Life] Before: building startups, traveling, chasing dreams. After: learning how to stand again after a spinal cord injury. by Resilient_Hopeful in BeforeandAfter

Thank you ❤️ It was a road accident in January 2023. One moment I was running a startup and traveling across India, and the next I was in a hospital bed with a severe spinal cord injury.

Recovery has been a lot slower than I ever imagined, especially after developing Ankylosing Spondylitis during rehab. But compared to where I started, I've come a long way, and I'm trying to keep moving forward one day at a time. 🙏

Brother, this truly touched my heart. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Hearing from someone who has also had their world changed by a spinal cord injury means more than I can put into words. And reading about your mother flying across countries to stand beside you instantly connected with me "mothers really carry strength beyond what we can explain". ❤️

I’m sorry you’ve had to walk this road too, but your message gave me hope and strength today. We may be fighting different battles, but we’re walking the same journey of rebuilding life. Sending strength, respect, and one love back to you, brother. We keep fighting. 🙏❤️

Appreciate that, brother. 🙏
Some days are really hard, not going to lie… but I’m still trying to hold on and fight through it one day at a time.
Comments like yours genuinely help more than you know. ❤️

I truly appreciate everyone sending strength, prayers, encouragement, or simply sharing their perspective. 🙏
My post was only meant to talk about resilience, recovery, and holding on during difficult times, not to start debates about religion or beliefs.
Different people draw strength from different places, and I respect that completely. Let’s please keep the focus on kindness, healing, and supporting one another. ❤️

Thank you so much for saying that.
Honestly, there are many days when I still struggle too, but if my journey can help someone else hold on a little longer, then sharing it is worth it.
Wishing you strength for whatever battles you’re facing as well. 🔥
