But I became disabled with my R arm fked within 2ishyrs of"making it"in the industry.The worst part wasn't just the pain but about the life I could've had, but the road not taken wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. I want to quote Catriona's post it's things I also want to say but she did it better.

yeah so weird, fb is like the childhood bedroom taken over by your parents after you moved out like I'm not going back there lol
