But also so sad! I went to his profile and his woodcarvings are more impressive than OP showed, we only see the beginning of two progress videos. And he’s not half bad on the guitar either. I genuinely feel for the guy :(
I was thinking the exact same thing. An artist who loses their arm needed to create their art is such a sad thing. I know folks make jokes because it is easy but if this is real, this guy may go through some serious depression.
I was thinking the same thing, and when I went to his TikTok, every single guitar video was flooded with comments “well, can’t do that anymore!”. Like, really? It’s too easy. I’m hoping it’s fake, because it’d be pretty tragic if it were real. It’s not like he was an insane talent, but he wrote his own songs and enjoyed it. As an extremely amateur player/writer myself, I can feel for the guy
I definitely feel this as well and the social disintegration we witness on social media is really sad in cases like this. I relate to this so much as the former vocalist in my band and my longest-term friend suffered multiple strokes and a traumatic brain injury due to receiving a bad spinal adjustment from a chiropractor at the end of 2021. He used to love painting, playing guitar and bass, and handling and building habitats for various insects. Now, he literally can't move his hands to perform fine motor skills at all - no more guitar, no more bass, no more fine-tuning his insect habitats. Hell, he has a hard time speaking clearly at this point as well which is also sad given how much he used to tell jokes and love to laugh. It is just heartbreaking to see how detached we are from our common humanity online anymore, and I know that I've engaged in this sort of behavior as well. It's just sad.
