100% Voiceless

[greenstorm]

Can't even whisper, it hurts too much. Frustrated about communication. Cellphone mostly off to avoid damage from being thrown across the room. Shutting down communication centres of the brain to avoid frustration and practice simply *being* rather than interpreting and processing. For today, at least, I am invisible to you, an empty space where a person used to be. Deal.

Baked beans, fresh bread, and soup may result.

Sometimes (once or twice) I've written on a card "I am observing a day of silence, thanks for your patience." I didn't do it because of losing my voice (doesn't happen to me), but just to interact with people differently. Not to be all "lemons=lemonade!" but just to offer an alternative to destroying your cell phone and shunning people. Miming simple ideas, enjoying just someone's presence, simply being with another(s). You are not merely your words.

Unless, of course, you need the time alone.

Feel better, be whole
