Yeah, like I, yeah, I just, it's hard to come to terms with it.

I think with rugby, I get asked the question a lot, like, well, Jordan, how are you doing with rugby?

And I always say the quite same, like, dismissive answer, like, yeah, it's hard, but I'm getting through it.

And

And when I think of it, I've thought about it obviously a lot.

And I thought about it deeply with my mum and stuff.

I sat in the lounge and her yantra.

And I feel like I'm going through life on autopilot.

I feel a lot of the time I'm putting the smile on, saying yes to all opportunities and carrying on through my life.

But then I'm like, why?

Like, I thought I was supposed to be here for rugby, and now that's taken away, just like that.

Like, I had 15 years of my life, which is probably like, it doesn't seem like that long, but I'm only 19.

So it's quite a lot of my life has been rugby.

So I feel like it's been taken away like that.

I just feel like it's quite cruel.

Like, how can something that important to someone just be taken away like that?

it's it's a lot to deal with sometimes I feel like just crying crying like I just I wouldn't do that but it just in a in a something in me is like I'm not going to let that be the

the rest of me.

Like, I'm going to keep being a smile on my face, keep getting outside, keep doing stuff, keep being involved in rugby.

Like, yeah, I just, I'm not going to let that be the rest of me.
