after a very unfortunate running injury i was unable to walk properly for half a year, four months later I ripped a muscle and damaged a nerve in my arm, then lost my eyesight in one eye. horrible migraines caused by the difference between my two eyes made everything hazy and since the light was making it unbearable, I closed myself inside, shut all blinds, and lived for almost two weeks in complete darkness, only going out to get food supplies. I felt frustrated and weak, but as my eyesight was very slowly coming back, i thought at least I could draw and animate and that was enough for me.  two months later I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both hands. during fits of anger all I could do was bite into my hands and hope that it would distract me from the nerve pain. I was able to joke about it since it just all felt so ironic, but there were other times when I would slowly drift into depression. all i could think of was how my hands will never allow me to work the way I did before, and I just felt a lot of regret for all the projects I never started, and all time I wasted doing stuff i didn’t care about for companies whose policies I hated.  living alone in a city I barely knew, pretty much a continent away from my friends and on the other side of the globe from my family made it all even worse.  things got better after a few more months, but my hands, feet and eye are still handicaps to an everyday, normal, active life. lookng back, I don’t think I’d be able to pick myself up again from a similar situation.  that being said, the ending for book 3 really moved me and since it came at the end of this pretty hard time, perhaps I was able to empathize with korra in a way i wouldn’t have been able to before.  I am looking forward for book 4 and I will definitely be cheering for korra’s recovery. i also recently bought all three art books SO I DEFINITELY CAN’T WAIT FOR THOSE.  -- source link
