Brain Injury:
Explanation of Mask: I had a brain injury and fractures in my face. This whole ordeal has been bittersweet in regards to my person as a whole. I find it incredibly frustrating trying to complete what was once simple and easy. Despite this anger I still feel comfortable and convicted to my decision to remain sober. I am seemingly happier after my injury. The warm colors (red/orange/yellow) in my mask represent the happiness that I feel in my new life. My eyes are bright because I am bright eyed now. The cool colors (blue/green) represent my calmness. I think it is solely being more content that is making life as a whole easier to deal with. I live a more purpose driven life, focusing on my future and how can build towards it. I’m anxious about the next steps but I know I need to remain sober, it’s the only way I can allow my true intentions to shine through.
