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.
