Voices in My Head

Not all of them like me.

What if you were hypersensitive and had no idea? All of your senses magnified, your heart and mind riding high, every waking minute. What if you lived through its torments thinking it was the same for everyone? Learning slowly, that it isn’t.

Trauma, alienation, caustic physical environments, the tyranny of light, the awful punishment of being different. Growing awry. Then the other side of the coin, the incredible power of music, finding sanctuary in stories, making worlds, feeling this one intensely. Suddenly needing to understand you, human creature, wanting to know more about you. Looking for reasons not to be afraid. As we all are. Tell me your story, I so want to hear it.
