the little things
Today is the 5 year anniversary of my brain injury - so I wrote this about some of the most cherished small moments of healing. Five years ago, and for a long time after I got injured, I couldn't do any of these things. Car noises were too loud, music was too overwhelming and hurt my head, and the sun coming in through an open window was too bright to face. I still have times when all three are too much - but I also have moments where I can sit with them, bask in them, for a little while.
Healing from a brain injury is a long, slow process. There have been big steps forward, and big steps back, and still so far to go. It's measuring progress in inches, rather than miles. But every inch is still worth celebrating <3

[ID copied from alt text: An eight panel comic, featuring hand-written text only panels beside art only panels. The art is simple black lineart. The panels read as follows:
1 - it's the little things.
2 - it's the way i can put ear plugs in and drive with my windows down in summer, feel the wind on my face.
3 - art panel showing the driver's view from a car driving down a highway, with the window down, wind blowing in.
4 - art panel showing a cell phone with the lock screen showing a music player app, which is playing "The Omen" by Camp Cope. Headphones lay across the phone.
5 - it's the music i can now listen to for hours, rather than minutes.
6 - it's the open window i can now sit facing, watching the light stream in.
7 - art panel showing a large window with plants along the windowsill, light streaming in through them.
8 - it's the way the world keeps opening up, inch by inch by inch.
The comic is signed hank graves, 2024, january 30th. End ID.]
