i’m in a strange state of my healing process; i feel mostly quite normal; i do my own shopping, i can do a quite a bit of cleaning up, i can take the tram or the subway and go to my doctors appointments by myself. but sitting down is a bit stiff, i can’t bend over, i can’t use my own shower yet, and i do have a lot of bandages and things to change every day, and my scar is not quite healed up yet (though it is very close!).
this past week has been a mix of visits from friends and family; of A coming over and us lying in bed together, browsing pictures of gorgeous women and cute bunnies and beautiful henna online, and kisses and hugs and text messages; of hours of reading a finnish translation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s The Thing Around Your Neck (really, really good and beautiful); of spordiac study sessions; of staring out of the window; and of LGBTQ rooftop sauna parties, oddly enough!
also, taking photos. i want to take pictures of anything and everything! instagram is making it easier, but i really want to do some proper shoots, spend some quality time with my Canon, too.
