My muse (John ❤) is sitting next to me, Planning, typing away, and clicking his mouse. Meanwhile, I’m trying to stay focused, trying to continue without isolating myself with headphones, trying to accept myself and my feelings, and planning the next days.
(more…)Wearing headphones feels a bit isolating because I already feel like I live miles away from everyone else, lost in my thoughts most of the time. Blocking out the noise around me can sometimes be great, but it also makes me feel a bit lonely.
A recurring title keeps floating in my mind during this period of my life—something I feel the need to write about. It’s a topic that, although I know I’m not alone in facing in MS Battle, still manages to make me feel isolated. Psychological warfare.
