uPPdate - tfw u shatter ur shoulder
Added 2020-07-24 10:16:51 +0000 UTCSo, in case any of you dont follow my twitter or discord channel, two weeks ago, I had an accident which resulted in a broken right shoulder.
To put it shortly, I was speeding with my bicycle when a car decided to cross the red light anyways! So to avoid being hit by the car, I pulled the brakes. But my bike only had front-brakes, so I got flipped against the pavement, hitting it shoulder first.
It hurts like hell, it's very tricky to live this new "one-arm life", especially with my non-dominant arm/hand, and every day I get to watch my arm change hues. And of course, worse of all, I can't draw.
The GOOD news, is that I won't need surgery, it will heal as long as I rest and dont strain myself. Im also just thankful to be alive. If I had not pulled the brakes, tried to do a turn or just continue, I am absolutely certain it would've been much worse. I keep coming back to that moment, and somehow, it feels like it had to happen. Every experience carries it's lesson, and I've learned a lot from this. Not being able to draw kind of made me realize how sometimes I take this skill for granted... I can't wait to draw and draw and draw! It just sucks that I still have at least 4 more weeks of waiting until I get back to my 100% self.
There's a lot more going on, of course, with both me and the rest of the world. Despite the pain and shame this broken shoulder causes me, I'm so thankful and proud to have supporters! To have you! ♥ Thank you so much for believing in me, my art and my stories!
You are my friends, my family, and I love you truly and forever!
Stay safe, Wear your masks, wash those hands, take care! ♥
