Imposible que pase el tiempo y aún mis labios sienta tu sabor.

Mi corazón te sigue amando. Fuiste y me diste lo mejor, no hay tiempo de olvidarte ni de odiarte, solo de amarte

[lonleypandagirl]

You are strong.

Warning - Lost Post - Part 1 It has been quite a ride these past few months. I made my pro boxing debut, despite separating my shoulder before moving back to Ottawa to undertake a massive solo renovation of an entire house. One day I was reminded about a conversation I had with one of the doctors I met before a fight. He was concerned with my lack of balance, and asked if I had been KO'd recently, which I hadn't but I lied and mentioned I had had a cold recently. He replied I should keep an eye on it, and that if it begins to worsen or if I have memory loss or vision problems to see a specialist. Those thoughts were forgotten this past month. I had plans to compete a couple more times this year before hanging it up. However recently I have noticed that I enter rooms and can't remember why, or I can't remember where I placed a tool, more frequently. I never suffered a KO but I sparred hard and was in a lot of wars, frequently fighting way above my 122/126lbs weight class. Even before I fought competitively I always seemed to be defending my self and suffered some large head trauma. Having my head split open, once by a lunch box, once by a bike helmet and a third time (by accident) taking a back swing from a bat to the side of the head. After reading an article about early CTE symptoms I was concerned enough to discuss it with my doctor who then forwarded me to a brain specialist. I don't have any liesons on the brain (Thank God 🙏🏼) but I could tell he was concerned. As I move forward I have to cognizant of the head trauma I would receive, and how, if any it would further impact my life. I have a major and potentially life changing project in the works, with multiple forks behind it and ive begun to think of my future. But I've come to hard point. I was not famous and will not miss the adjulations from fighting. What I'm concerned about is how to fill that void now. - #boxing #muaythai #thaiboxing #kickboxing #k1 #giantkillerstan #martialarts #training #mma #pickering #ajax #toronto #6ix #crossfit #xfit #fitfam #ufc #pro #instagood #picoftheday #bagwork #letsgochamp #wegucci #staysmiling #blessup2018

On y croit plus, on y croira plus jamais. L'amour s'est envolé, comme un papillon s'ayant libéré. À force d'espéré, on fini les yeux un peu trop embrouillés, le coeur un peu trop émietté. Un mot, un sourire un regard mal placé tout pour ne jamais s'en échappé. Un tourbillon d'espoir qui devrait juste partir sans crier au revoir. Tu pleures, tu cris mais l'amour ne t'épargneras pas aujourd'hui.

Hahahaha. Unintentional use!? Sorry those roids fell into my Cheerios and I ate them repeatedly. Such bullshit! How many other athletes have claimed this and still were suspended. How many shots does this guy get? Nobody should have their livelihood taken away, but look what they did to Nick Diaz for smoking some weed... It's all about those Benjamin's... 👎🏼💸💸 - #boxing #muaythai #thaiboxing #kickboxing #k1 #giantkillerstan #martialarts #training #mma #pickering #ajax #toronto #6ix #crossfit #xfit #fitfam #ufc #pro #instagood #picoftheday #bagwork #letsgochamp #wegucci #staysmiling #blessup2018 (at Las Vegas, Nevada)
