Never thought that at 26 years old, I'd have a broken hip, be using a walker, and taking blood thinners. But alas, I've always known there was something different about me. I guess I'm built different.

On May 31, 2020, one of my best friends who is a massive Charlotte Hornets fan and season ticket holder signed a piece of cardboard in my house and wrote "Charlotte Hornets, 2026 NBA Champs."
The way they've been playing... I think my friend may be a prophet.
