When Love Hurts (Injury Update)

Dear Nobody, what do you do when the thing you love the most also causes you pain? In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal update on my journey with a TFCC tear—a ligament injury in my wrist that has redefined my relationship with the piano and my daily life. From the "suffocating" reality of wearing medical braces in a New York winter to the deep anxiety of overcompensating with my left hand, I wanted to be honest about the identity crisis that comes with being an artist in recovery. But more importantly, this is about the breakthrough: deciding to stop feeling bad for myself and pivoting my entire graduation recital to a left-hand-only program. It’s a story of resilience, problem-solving, and finding the spark again when your "good hand" isn't an option.
