 I rarely tell you about my private life, because I prefer to talk about art, but I have to tell you this.
It's been about a week since my cervical hernia started hurting again after I had managed to control it with physiotherapy, but unfortunately now it's not enough and I have to take painkillers.

I can't stand having my mind clouded, I can't stand the medication and I can't stand not being able to paint the way I want to.

If I don't get over it I will have to stop my art for a while.

These last few days I have only painted with willpower, even though I don't have to, but when I don't do art I feel like I don't live.

Sorry for this moment of weakness, but I needed to vent.

 I understand the need to vent. Sometimes when life hits us we just want to be heard and seen for a moment.

Hope things will get better quickly for you. 
 Thanks mate πŸ«‚

 I’m so sorry 😞 

But you should not stop painting!!, pain can lead you to paint things you wouldn't otherwise achieve, many great artists have used their own misfortune as inspiration.

Release your nonconformity with what happens to you in your fantastic painting πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

 Felt. All the empathy I can send online. πŸ«‚ No betrayel compares to the times it felt as if my own body was fighting against my own existence. Not. Cool. πŸ«‚

Please know I hope you will heal & return to what you have always known. Stay strong & keep the pain controlled as I know how pain can change my own perception. 

Hugs. mean it. πŸ«‚ 
 Thank you very much for your empathy πŸ«‚πŸ™
