Bend, but don’t break

Flexibility alongside hypermobility can truly be both a blessing and a curse. That ‘bend, but don’t break’ thing? Can’t be more literal. It’s like having a superpower that comes with a catch. Imagine being able to stretch in all sorts of ways, knowing that you have to be careful not to overdo it. Fun, but risky. Always having to find the sweet spot between pushing your limits and protecting yourself.

As someone who is on the hypermobility spectrum, learning about it has been educational, to say the least.
