It was very musically stimulating 🎶 I like your attitude @thepreposterouspanda

@Effloresce Music is life! I've been trying to get back into making it again recently, but I got a nasty cold that set me back a couple of months. 🤔 It's almost gone though, and I'll get back to creating. :)

Glad you’re starting to feel better! Crank out those tunesss@thepreposterouspanda

@Effloresce Yesss. I have so many ideas floating in my brain! 😱 If I hadn't gotten MASSIVELY sick, then I would be much further along with it all, but it messed my motor skills up pretty badly for about six months. That was long ago enough now though that it's not an excuse anymore! 😤

Feelings are just scary when you really examine them I suppose. 😅

Truuuust me I understand that. No need to be hard on yourself, the healing process is not one to be rushed 😌@thepreposterouspanda

@Effloresce I wish more people understood that, honestly. 😅 I know it's been almost nine years since I got sick, but I'm still disabled, and always will be. It's not the sort of thing one just gets over, or so I'm forced to believe haha.

Well I’m glad you’ve been able to make progress over those years. I’m sure it’s been exhausting@thepreposterouspanda

@Effloresce It has been an experience for sure haha. I got sick in 2010 with autoimmune stuff that attacked my brain, lungs and kidneys. Then I fell and broke my hip the year after, which ended up being broken for seven months before having to be completely replaced when I was 23. :) A bump or two along the way!

At the same time though, I'm still alive. There is still room to improve, and to discover what I'm meant for throughout this experience. It's given me a very unique place to speak from, and a place that I think can help a lot of people who are in similar places. :3

That being said, it is not my favorite thing. xD Chronic pain and a pronounced limp are not usually things people strive for. I just tell people I have built-in swag though. :p

@Effloresce Of course! There's some juicy stuff in there along the way. xD Eight hospital stays, seven of which were in a year and a half. All kinds of things not for the faint of heart. xD
