Broken Before Your Feet: How These Crutches Became My New Lifeline Life has a way of unexpectedly challenging our strength—sometimes leaving us grounded in ways we never imagined. The phrase “broken before your feet” captures that profound moment when life’s hard knock sends you tumbling—physically, emotionally, or spiritually. For many, the journey after such a collapse feels overwhelming, but one bitterly true realization emerged for me: sometimes, relying on crutches—whether literal or metaphorical—is not a failure, but the first step toward healing and strength. ### The Crutch That Caught Me When I Fell When my body betrayed me, my crutches became more than just support—they became my new lifeline. At first, lifting even my arm felt like an endless battle, and walking became a fragile balancing act. But those crutches, somewhat humbling in their simplicity, offered something far more powerful than muscle memory: stability. They taught me that vulnerability is not weakness, but the foundation of resilience.
