I'm having to find new ways to create because I have developed carpel tunnel AND tendinitis in both hands and arms. It makes even the simplest for of metal smithing difficult and painful. I am resting my arms as much as possible and wearing braces all of the time, but I miss working with metal terribly.
So perhaps I will take up photography or start drawing again. I am applying to grad schools across the world and waiting to take the next step in my life and move forward from stasis. I can't keep the past current, I can't see the future, and the present snaps like twigs underfoot. and all that makes me incredibly sad yet hopeful sometimes.
