During the tournament, I got carpal tunnel, and now I feel like I have lost all my hobbies.

I enjoyed VSRG from a young age, really young age. I remember playing stepmania on my dads computer when I was in 3rd grade. I enjoy typing letters, I enjoy writing them too. Most of all, I like long drives at night. I know not many people even know who I am here, which is okay, I'd like to pretend that people care though, I have lost my ability to do these things (atleast without needle pain). I feel like I have lost everything now, I cant really drive anywhere outside of a 10 minute interval (to work and back). I now am forced to type very slowly, otherwise my other fingers don't move. I'm afraid that this was the end of my time here, the end of my time playing rhythm games. It's upsetting. I remember watching and talking to people, even competing in a few tournaments. I really miss getting home from school and trying to set a score I was proud of, specifically, I will miss sitting on the bus from school and looking up etterna videos while I waited to get home, and messaged in the local arcade discord that I would play iidx that day. All the time went away it seems lol. Such a small game, such a huge meaning. I guess other people could look at it a bit differently. It really sucks.
