Giving up activities and relationships

I know the feeling.
After my stroke, I couldn't do most of the things I had enjoyed my whole life.
Many of my "friends" abandoned me, and some of those who stayed in contact wanted stuff from me that I could no longer provide.
Seeing the tools of old hobbies, like cameras or even luggage (I can't really travel anymore) is a very sad feeling.
But I go on. I can still do some stuff, and I have even discovered a new hobby, my YouTube channel, which is not only about my stroke journey, but some "Dad Jokes" that have been broadcast on TV. (I never saw that coming!)
Check it out. Maybe it will inspire you.

Yes, the cameras (gave all my equipment to my oldest son and still miss my darkroom!)! And the feeling when I look at my luggage and my sweet little camping trailer.
