I’ve spent time in an anechoic chamber, they are indeed very disorienting. Sound is the activity of life. When you become so self-aware that all you hear is your blood rushing through your ears, mindfulness and peace are surprisingly elusive.

The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes
There’s a small room in Minnesota that blocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number! Also impressive: nobody can take more than 45 minutes alone in the room before they go nuts.
The Daily Mail describes Orfield Labs’ anechoic chamber—perfect for making extremely sensitive audio measurements. But also perfect for sending you into a hallucinatory hell so hellacious you’ll need a chair:
‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’
That sounds swell. Just the serene quiet of you, your thoughts, and the unceasing pounding of the human heart. Your brain can’t take it, apparently, and begins to fabricate sounds that aren’t really there—completely delusional noises meant to block out the churning of your own horrid biomass.

I feel a short story coming on.

I bet you that I could do it, and not go insane.

Honestly

I have been begging for answers, that you and only you can give to me…

So, I’m going to rant. I’m lost in my thoughts and my heart also.
I’m stuck in the grip of unseen hands, that squeeze all hope and faith out of me.
There’s a distance between my heart and I, a wall that’s building up around it, and it’s blocking me out to where I can’t even see it, or hear what it has to say. Crazy, I know. But it’s how I feel right now. Decisions are hard, and I have many to make. I have a feeling that either way, I’m going to be hurt, or someone is, no matter what my decision is. This is honestly my most critical year. Seventeen, almost done with high school, jobless, and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m becoming heartless.
Judge me if you will, but I’m close to being done with it all. But I don’t want to give up.
Maybe tonight I won’t sleep.
Maybe then I’ll get some answers..

Anonymous asked: Name a girl you could trust your heart with and wish you could date her.

Well, in all honesty, she follows me on here. So I’m not so sure if I should say anything at all. Her and I have had a past already, and I still miss it. She’s helped me through a lot and I hope she knows that I will always be there for her, no matter what. And that she will always have a certain place in my heart that will only and forever belong to only her.. I trust her with my life, with my darkest secrets. She means a lot to me. Not only do I still have feelings for her, and always will, but she will also be one of my closest friend. Her name… is Megan.
