Hi again!

Here we are again... I tried keeping up with a blog almost 3 years ago but didn't find the motivation to continue it.  This time I'm feeling inspired and thought to try this again.  People say I have thoughts they want to hear so let's try this again.

First, let me introduce myself for those reading this that aren't friends or family. My name is Rylie Carpenter, I'm 21, and from Logan Utah.  I currently work at a medical supply store as the social media specialist, which is just a fancy name for someone who gets paid to post and advertise the store.  On top of that I also make videos for whatever the store may need at the time.  I have two siblings, an older brother who gained his angle wings in 2021, and a little sister that's here with me on earth.  My mom is a medical assistant, while my dad works as a mechanic fixing cement trucks.  I have two step parents.  My step dad owns a food truck, and my step mom works at in the shipping department of a store that sells firearm accessories. Some of my hobbies include writing, making videos, cooking, listening to music, watching and geeking out over movies, I really love anything in the creative or entertainment space.

On the surface I seem like your average 21 year old girl, which I am, except for one kind of big detail.  You see I was born with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy called ,Merosin Deficient Congenital Muscular Dystrophy... big words, I know.  Basically what it means is, my muscles get weaker over time.  I've never been able to walk or run, and I need help with every daily task from getting ready in the morning, to setting up my food for the day, you name it, I need help with it.   On the surface it sounds pretty tragic, I won't deny that, but there can be some positives to it all.  I get to ride around in a hot pink chair, I get free handicap parking, I get the best seats at concerts and movies,, and many other perks.

So that's me in a nutshell...  If you're interested in hearing more from me follow me.  Expect posts every Thursday talking about all different kinds of things, heavy topics or simple weekly updates.  Comment any questions or themes you want me to talk about, whether it be advice on staying positive, questions about me, anything at all, I'm pretty much an open book.
