Flutterby™! : Life fading

Life fading

2023-09-10 17:18:45.287977+02 by meuon 0 comments

am sadly listening to a friend, reading aloud from a book, who was an excellent reader.. fade away. The artifacts, pauses, pacing, repeats, and stutters are hard for me to listen to. Sure, he's 70+, and it's considered normal as we get older.

But I also spent a lot of time in speech therapy as a young man. It's triggering. It hurts my brain in ways I can't explain and it wants to fall back into those habits. Which makes me not want to listen to him, and that's sad.

And makes me realize, as I fade into the end of good life, I'll probably do/have the same issues.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
