𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗡𝗙𝟭 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆…𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲 ⁣ ⁣ Living with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 has taught me a lot about resilience.⁣ ⁣ There are times when NF1 limits my performance, my energy, or my ability to do certain things. I know I face additional challenges, even when others remind me of them.⁣ ⁣ But I’ve never wanted to use NF1 as an excuse.⁣ ⁣ If anything, I’m harder on myself because of it. I rarely feel proud of myself because I always feel like I could be doing more, pushing more, achieving more.⁣ ⁣ That mindset isn’t always easy and maybe sometimes I should give myself more credit. But I never want NF1 to define what I can or can’t become.⁣ ⁣ Awareness isn’t just about recognising the condition. It’s also about recognising the strength, determination and mindset of the people living with it every day.⁣ ⁣ To anyone else living with NF1: your challenges are real, but so is your strength. ⁣ You are allowed to push forward without minimising what you go through and you are just as capable of achieving more than you think possible. #nf1 #nfwarrior #nfawareness #gymgirlwithnf1 #fyp
