What can I hear? What can't I hear? What do I want to hear? Let's not forget what I don't want to hear (if I had a dime for every fart joke I've heard, I could retire!!). It would be easy for me to come up with lists.
However, I want to put together more than a bunch of sounds lined up neatly next to bullet points. Part of the problem is that my experience drastically changes from day to day, from hour to hour. I could blame this on my frame of mind, my fatigue level, the settings on my CI, the person speaking, amount of background noise etc....that is a whole new list.
Things change so much, so often, that attempting to accurately and concisely capture how things are going is difficult, if not impossible. A post I would write after a particularly bad day would sound very depressing. I fear coming across like an ungrateful, negative person. On the other hand, if I were to write a glowing review of all the amazing progress I have made - this would offer up a skewed perception of my reality. Although, it would be what most of you would want to hear.
On top of all that, I have so much to say, that the thought of attempting to put it down on paper is overwhelming. One of these days I will tackle it!
For now - I have decided to try to answer a question that was asked of me the other day:
"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change?"
I think the answer might surprise many people. I think I surprised myself!
