Icarus laughed as he fell

[Voice to text]

“There is a bitter triumph in crashing
when you should be soaring

There is a certain beauty
In setting the world on fire
And watching from the center of the flames”

Physiotherapy continues apace and I am seeking information on studies and new therapies but this arm is Neolithic in regards to functionality and fit for purpose.

I feel. You do not want to know how I feel.

Don’t even ask me how I feel about the staring.

I've seen it suggested that that bit of writing you quoted is an interesting "artistic take on fulfilling one's most negative potential," but I'd note the moral of the Icarus myth is that hubris will be one's downfall, regardless of skill or station in life.

What's got you pondering that after PT?
