This one's for you, Mom and Dad.

So after years and years of my dad telling me to "stop cracking my neck", I finally realized I really need to stop. I'm pretty sure I crack my neck every day and have been doing so for many years now; it's almost like second nature to me. I crack my neck without thinking -- it's really like breathing to me.

However, yesterday I cracked my neck and ended up with a painful stiff neck. I thought I slep awkwardly, but I was wrong because when I woke up I can clearly remember that my neck was fine. In the afternoon my neck became sore and I couldn't look up or towards the side. I iced my neck, took a hot shower and massaged the affected areas. This morning when I woke up, it was still painful, but I could move it a little more. It almost feels like the first time my chiropractor adjusted my neck, but 10 times worse.

Thank you mom and dad for always telling me what's right and I'm sorry for not listening to you, but trust me, from today on out I will (try) not crack my neck again! Love you! XOXO.
