RE: Your Right to Your Own Perceptions

[Guest guest]

Wow, bless you Marsha for this post you made. I was having a REALLY bad

day with sounds yesterday and the family closest to me not respecting my

boundaries, even when I stated out loud " I'm having a difficult time

coping with my ears right now! " They kept on doing what was making my

situation worse and expected me not to have a problem, even thought they

could see I was.

What you wrote really hit home with me and explains why I've always felt

overwhelmed (and still do), because the 'responsibility WAS thrown back

on my shoulders' and thus I had to endure more suffering because I was

unable to heal myself of this condition or any other condition or

sickness I had.

I never felt I had 'the right to validate my own impressions and

sensations and to fully explain them and to be heard' and I still

struggle with that to this day. Growing up I can remember being told

that it is not the reality of God, so you should not be suffering from

it. And thus the problem did not go away and I had to continue suffering

but in silence.

Your email made a difference in my life today and made me feel valued

and validated. I thank you so much for that! It is like a never-ending

battle dealing with 4S and Hyperacusis.

You write very well Randall, I can feel your passion and pain

but most of all, behind your words I can feel your hope. I believe you have it

one of the worst that I have heard about but your strength is remarkable and my

thoughts go out to you. I wish you the very best.

Kindest Regards

You know what, Randall.... is right! You are a good writer.

Why don't you think about where that could lead you in the complex

pathways of life....consider the Art of Writing and how people

respond to well written articles, books, reviews, blogs, essays, you

name it....

Good writing is a skill. There are also companies who pay people to

write all kinds of perhaps less inspiring things, i.e., technical

writing, but nonetheless, someone needs to read it and good writing

makes it easier and more pleasant.

Sometimes these little comments can really lead to something.....if

we are awake enought to grasp the tail of its wispy little self,
