Every family or friend group has that one clumsy person.
The one who constantly falls, trips, or walks into things. They're usually covered in bruises, band-aids or some kind cast. In my circle, that person is me. I've been clumsy and accident prone for as long as I can remember.
I typed this article with one hand because I currently have a broken elbow and broken wrist. Just walking in a straight line is a problem. Here are all of the struggles a clumsy person is used to.
1. You're covered in mystery bruises.
2. You should buy stock in band-aid because you go through so many.
3. You walk into everything. Walls, doors, furniture, ... everything.
