As i sit here sculpting taking stretching breaks and with the best posture possible to make sure i dont trigger my old injury, i definitely had a moment where it was like 'oh'. I might be a little overly defensive of the 'old hockey guys cant play' narrative :/

like being in a career with the possibility of physical impairment derailing it and forcing you to quit before you're 40? I went through a YEAR of that kind of pain. Cant imagine having that be accepted as a given in something you're that passionate about. ;_; I just cant even imagine.

#My goal is to be like mon*et and painting till im 80 pls ;_;#But yeah losing the career you love most in the world and has been all you've done #the thought just makes me cry #In my case i was luckily living in a basement closet where rent was a couple hundred bucks and saving enough to spend $$$ on #Super fancy physical therapy - a sports one actually #That did work and gave me stretches and stuff to try to keep the pain from coming back #Meanwhile my shitty insurance wanted to immediately do surgery after a ten minute exam -_-#I never did end up needing surgery to make the pain go away #But i just....ugh...dont make the old guys quit until they are actually well and ready to quit ;_;#I have emotions #Journal shit
