In seventh grade a new boy named Nick transferred to my school and our orchestra teacher sat him next to me as my stand partner (viola section 🤘😝)… I accidentally poked him in the eye with the tip of my bow within minutes of meeting him and apologized profusely. He said, “It’s okay. It’s my blind eye.” He had had congenital cataracts and that actually made me feel worse, not better. Still haunts me to this day but we went on to have a beautiful, intense, and hateful rivalry so I guess it all turned out okay in the end 🫶
