::misophonia::

 "Misophonia, meaning 'hatred of sound', is a neurological disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses others may deem unreasonable. Reactions to trigger sounds range from anger and annoyance to activating a fight-or-flight response."

👂👀Have you ever come across “misophonia”? 👀👂

Indeed.  How do I go about writing this without sounding like a complete crazy & neurotic person?  There have been a few noises and sounds from people I love dearly (💓) that have drove me absolutely crazy inside.  It almost gets to the point where I'm fixated on the noise.  It drives me nuts in my head but I don't dare say anything about it out loud.  I just sit there and wonder how it doesn't drive them crazy as well.  How are they so oblivious to it?  How are the unfazed by the action creating this repeated annoying noise.  I've noticed these noises are usually repetitive and occur often.  To be honest it's driving me a bit crazy thinking about them now.

    It's so interesting to hear this perspective! I'm sorry you have to sit in silence and deal with the sounds of your loved ones - I say you let them know to see how they can curb it to preserve your sanity! It also makes me wonder what makes you notice the sound and why your brain fixates on it. Thank you for sharing your experience! <3

    I hear ya! it's especially hard to convey that to your loved ones. from what I seeing at the office was an all out war and no one is bashful about it. but its different here. I hope you find a way and somehow they can have an epiphany moment :) peace out. Ben

:: The Meaning of Time ::

I am going to be completely honest and start off by saying that I felt completely out of it during our first class together.  As interesting and stimulating the topic and conversations around 🕒time🕒, the transition into my new shelter-in-place space & diving back into the zoom-student mindset had my brain a bit foggy and lacking concentration. Since class I've been trying to wrap my head around having days that seem to last 'forever,' yet those days are submerged into a month that goes by in an 'instant.'  Since shelter-in-place, months have been flying by; but when I reflect on all that I've done and the memories I've created - there have been so many!  This year has felt incredibly fast too.  But then I think about all that I've learned in Chinese Medicine school (a lot), the new and incredibly impactful relationships I've made, the deepest feelings of grief I've felt in my lifetime... all in that same "fast" year.  What is it...

::Bionics::

Would you Support the development of a "bionic" person? I am going to have to say... NO, I would not support the development of a "bionic" person.  I understand the mind of an engineer and those interested in robotics, but I wish those minds could be used for something more beneficial to society.  Watching the direction our corporations and factories have gone with technology replacing the jobs needed by human beings is horrifying.  We have so many people on our planet living far below the poverty line, yet corporations are using technology to not have to pay for a minimum wage or health insurance.  My fear, if we create a bionic person, is that we will continue to replace modes of making a living for those in need.  Based on human beings' actions of greed without thinking about the long term repercussions, we'll likely have bionic people roaming around out of control... which is an extremely scary thought.  We have so many more important issues that we ...
