As with anything that you start, it is beautiful to see something grow. These random notes to you have also gone into different directions, and I finally feel that this blog needs an About page. This of course is something that I will then need to Google and set up, but let me at least write the damn thing first.
Tonotopics became a little castle in the sky when I thought that the things that challenge me may be challenging others. When I was diagnosed with hearing loss, I could not really find a lot of likeminded individuals struggling with the same thing. When I was going through my physical therapy for my vestibular issues I found many very academic articles but no one who actually said: “yes, you are 36 years old and cannot stand on one leg”.
I learnt that my hearing loss was to a large extent responsible for my anxiety, so I thought I would share some of my plans in that regard and soon I realised that this conversation might as well include the things that I love to do, like cooking and drawing, maybe a little bit of poetry.
I believe that this page will probably need to be updated more often than not, but my dream for these little notes of mine is that they fly into the path of whoever needs them. Perhaps become a source of comfort or even a go-to when you need inspiration for the week’s menu.
I have written a little bit about myself here when I started this journey. As I type this the first rain of spring is falling and it feels almost like a new beginning. And I am optimistic about a new season for these notes as well as myself.
