My Left Arm
A submission from BreeAnn S
Not that this is something that i have voluntarily “gotten rid of” or even permanently for that matter, but it is something that I have been forced to learn to live without, if only for a couple months. The way I see it, this project is about thinking about things we take for granted. Whether it’s having the physical space to store things we don’t need/use, having the money to buy that useless item that just sits on the shelf or having the full use of both of our arms, these are things that others may not have. Due to the fact that I have to wear a cast, and sometimes a sling I have not been able to do a lot of things I am used to doing, such as driving a car, cutting an onion, shuffling cards, or taking out the trash. These are things I have had to ask others to do for me, and it’s hard, I don’t like asking for help.
