I took a road trip to Colorado by myself despite my chronic pain

Music: "Vagabond" by Caamp
Hi, friends! Living with chronic pain absolutely sucks and most days can be extremely difficult and discouraging. I recently said "screw it" to my chronic pain* and took a road trip to Colorado which is something that I have wanted to do for a while now.
It was horribly painful and difficult and sometimes extremely overwhelming but it was beyond worth it because I had an incredible amount of fun with myself and accidentally and unknowingly hiked to the top of a mountain which was so physically painful but also incredibly joyful and mountains are probably the best thing this planet has ever created.
ANYWAY, I made this video for myself to have so I can watch it on my difficult days and be reminded of how much fun I am still capable of having despite my pain. When I showed it to my therapist, she encouraged me to post it to TH-cam. Since my therapist is awesome and her advice always seems to help, I did it! So if you came across this video, I hope you enjoy it!
*As tough and as horrible as my pain is, I am privileged in that I was able to push through it for this trip. Some people with chronic pain have pain that is so severe that no matter how much they may want to, they could never push through it to take a trip like I did. It was extremely painful and challenging for me to do this, but at the end of the day it was still possible and for that, I am truly grateful.
