Missed Out On
By Alicia Murie
What do you do when
You realize you’ve only been doing what
Your head was telling you
What you should be doing and not
Listening to what your heart
Knows you should have been doing for
Years but it’s something that
You won’t even realize that you have
Missed out on till you
Come across that one person or that
One circumstance that makes you
Realize you’re not where you can’t nor
Should be and you’re not
Living the life that was meant for
You to live but instead
You’ve forced your heart to live in
This eternal limbo you can’t
Escape resulting in endless nights of crying
So when you finally come
To that point where you realize that
You should be doing something
More with your life will you listen
To what your heart says
Or will you listen to others and
Wonder what you’ve missed out on

Facts on - TBI, TBI Raiders, legislation, funding
Platforms to look for candidates to have that will be helpful in deciding who to vote for
Elections and being politically involved are both ways to ensuring you are politically involved. That could be something as simple as calling or emailing your elected official. It's important to ensure that you are represented by your elected officials. I believe it is the organization People First that has the saying of nothing can be done without us or well shttp://usbia.org/omething like that. You can't expect every legislator to be "in the know" or be able to expect they will hear our issues from others. In the last thirteen years I've been doing everything with TBI Raiders, I've heard from lots of law makers that they need to know and want to know the issues and concerns of TBI survivors so they can write legislation that will help them.
And you can't expect that the reason nothing is going to be done to help those of us with TBI is because nobody cares about the issue of TBI. Maybe nothing is being done or no one is getting involved to help out is because there isn't more survivors out there saying hey we matter, this is what we need and nobody is bringing forward ideas that will help improve the lives of TBI survivors because they don't know where to look for that information. Believe in yourself fellow survivor because you are capable of being successful!
