For a short time I was in your situation (due to a leg injury) and I'm so sorry to hear this

This is so beautiful and sad at the same time. Once I read the last sentence I couldn't help but cry.

Instead of writing a comment that will only make you feel sadder, I'll make a little comment:
Your secret reminded me of Stephen Hawking. He has been in a wheelchair for years, and yet, he values every little thing he had, even if it's not much, since he can't talk, move, anything. He speaks through an electronic voice machine, and still, he's more free than those of us who can still walk and run. He values every little thing and keeps on living (even though he was "supposed" to have died YEARS ago), inspiring people, studying and teaching.
He's one -if not THE best- of my favorite persons, and he can't walk.
What's that got to do with you? You're capable of so much, ST. Don't mourn what you don't have anymore, just cherish what you do have!

I literally burst into tears when I read this.

I'm with Baron-Cimetiere on this. LETS ALL GO TO THE PARK AND ROOLLLLLL
π: 0 β©: 0
Probably an obvious question but is that field included in the picture where you see yourself running?
π: 0 β©: 0
Lets go to the park. I'll push you really fast. We can laugh at the pigeons who have no clue what it's like to effin ROLL!
Have you seen a pigeon walk? Seriously... fricken ridiculous...

It's really sad to know that people take walking for granted when some people would kill for it.

this ST just hurt my heart soo much
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh god.... I'm so sorry ST. :[ That is so, so, so horrible. I don't really know what to say.
I have a feeling, the reaction I've gotten from this secret (teared up), you will definitely be in my thoughts.
π: 0 β©: 0
We really don't realize what we have until it's gone.
I thank you for reminding me how lucky I am.
And I hope you can find your strength.
Don't let this hold you back

Aw....
thats so sad, i don't know what to say And I love how you set it up how fly is in the sky and cant walk is on the ground, don't know if it was on purpose or not, but...that shows your creative...!
π: 0 β©: 0
I have no words, i have nothing but a shoulder, a hand, my time, if ever in the need to talk.
I can t say how sorry i am for you, and if there was something i could do.. i d do it, st.
π: 0 β©: 0
Ohhhh ST, I'm so sorry!
I'll be thinking of you, most definitely and I wish you the best!

I can't even begin to imagine how that must feel... But I'm sorry

Walking and running is overrated.
I zoom around in my wheelchair like a crazy driver.
Eh who needs legs when your brain clearly works?
π: 0 β©: 0
This is heartbreaking, but you can still soar, ST. Don't stop dreaming, you can still do great things.
I don't know your situation, but a close relative of mine lost his arm in a motorcycle accident. Things are never easy, but he lives a relatively normal life now.
Please stay optimistic, even when its hard.

This is so sad. I also have dreams about running without having an asthma attack, which is something I haven't been able to do since I was about 5, but your case is much worse - I can still jog a short distance.

You did an excellent job artistically on this secret, really beautiful.
This really hit me hard for some reason. ST, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find happiness.

To have walked once is better then having not walked at all.
π: 0 β©: 2
I disagree. I'm in the process of losing my ability to walk, it's heart wrenching and painful. The physical pain of my body falling apart, the emotional pain of watching doctors, my parents, and myself fighting this everyday. Do you know how many doctors I've seen? How many I will continue to see, even after I'm disabled? I don't know if the secret teller is going through this too, or has, but its awful.
And I have that same dream. And I do fly in it.

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
- Helen Keller
π: 0 β©: 1
Not everyone can be a great person, like Helen Keller. And I doubt she always said things like that. She probably had days where she cried and was angry about being blind, deaf, and mute.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she did. In fact, I'm pretty sure she cried more than she smiled. And then what did she do?
She became one of most inspiring success stories to date. She overcame her struggles, and if she - blind, deaf - can do it, what excuse do we have?
π: 0 β©: 1
Again, I repeat, not everyone can be as great a person as she. If we're all happy, what does happy mean? Happiness ceases to have a meaning. We need sadness in order to understand what it means to be happy. We need not-so-great people in order to have great people. I'll be one of those not-so-great people and just make my art.

I understand your point concerning happy v. sad - I have the same theory about good and evil (that without evil, good would cease to exist). But your theory lacks substance in one point - while sorrow is caused by circumstance, joy is caused by reaction.
I don't know if you saw this Daily Deviation from yesterday, but I kinda think you should. [link] 
Your inhibitions don't define you; you define your inhibitions. Be that a good definition or a bad definition - it's your choice.
π: 0 β©: 1
I want you to leave me alone. You aren't helping my mental state. I can't be like people like you. I've been fighting and trying for ten years.
And I call bullshit on the joy is a reaction while sorrow is circumstantial. Both are caused by reaction, both can be circumstantial. Every emotion can be defined as caused by reaction and caused by circumstance. Lover, happiness, sadness, loneliness. You fall in love as a reaction to another person's action, or because of a circumstance you find yourself in. You become sad because of your current state, or as a reaction to someone else, something they've said, done, etc.
Now please, leave me alone. I feel like jumping off a bridge and you aren't helping, only pushing me more.

I'll respect your wishes to leave you alone and I won't comment again.
I just want you to know I believe in you and wish you the best. If you ever want to chat or even just receive a hug, my friends and I will be there for you. We would love to offer any help you need.
Best of luck in life.

Something similar is happening to me, and I agree with the comment above yours.
I have no regrets about what I did when I could walk correctly or, for that case, when my heart was fine.
You just have to figure out how to be happy with what you can do now, or how to do what you could do before.
It's all about thinking outside the walking box.

I suppose our situations are different. I guess I'm just bitter.

Is it? A man blind since birth won't miss the colours of the world, but will embrace it with his other senses. A blinded man who has once seen the light of day however will miss the sights.

If I had suddenly become blind, I would be content that I was given the opportunity to see what beauty looks like - and then to appreciate it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yet, A LOT of people commit suicide when they become blind, suddenly. They can't live that way. It's very hard to get used to it.. I say blind since birth is best, personally.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think it sounds like an adventure, personally.
And I just researched your claim, and according to a study done by psychiatryonline - detailed in a data-enriched article titled "Sight Loss and Suicide", actually detailed that potential sight loss was more of a suicide factor then actual blindness causing suicide.
While sight impairment is definitely a potential contributing factor to suicide - as in many cases it causes depression/anxiety - suicide is always fitted with other contributing factors.
Thank you for your comment, but I think we're all entitled to our opinion.

I donβt think there is a better or a worse case at all...
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm so sorry ST. I hope that whatever reason that makes you incapable of walking can be remedied, and that you can walk again someday.
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh... 
Maybe you can't walk anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't dream anymore...
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh....
This is beautiful...
Yet I'm left with no words...
π: 0 β©: 0
I am sorry. And out of words. I send you strength.
π: 0 β©: 0
This is almost sad to the point of beauty... if that makes sense... I genuinely don't know what to say other than you're in my thoughts ST
