These last two days could not have have felt any longer. As interesting as it was, there was a constant discomfort throughout the entire process of my intervention. I saw (or rather heard) my surroundings in a light I never knew existed. Apart from a few distractions along the way, I feel like come out the other side further enlightened and embedded with a new found idea of how we operate based on what's around us.
Putting myself somewhere I wouldn't ever go is something I didn't want to do, I enjoy being comfortable and knowing. There were obviously periods in which I was just 'listening to music', but the consequences of the intervention came during any form of social interaction. I felt helpless without the full ability to communicate or read situations properly
Overall; the idea of being removed from what's around you is a broad one which relates to many different things, in my case deafness. (And isolation (loneliness), but can be anxiety inducing, physically harmful and psychologically impairing.) It is something I explored and experienced, it isn't what I expected the turnout to be, but it is where it lead me.
