    It’s always there, but that doesn’t mean one constantly hears it. I’m listening to music a lot, so then I don’t hear it. When I skateboard or do any other sports I don’t hear it, et cetera. Only when it’s quiet I sometimes become aware of it, but because of habituation I usually unconsciously ignore it just as quickly. It does happen that sometimes in bed I keep focusing on it to the point it annoys me, but fortunately that’s rare. Not being able to experience absolute silence in a forest anymore disappoints me though; c’est la vie.

    That being said, I’m probably in the camp of people whose condition is mild. It must indeed be horrible for people whose tinnitus overpowers all other sounds.





  • I wish I could ride my bike like a Scythed Chariot and destroy all these death machines that have the gall to ride on the bike path.

    I mean fuck! I hate cars and pretentious drivers so goddamn much. The only thing they have to do to accelerate is push a pedal once with less effort than moving a feather of a newborn chick, yet they for some reason consistently claim the right of way, or get it by law even. Topsy-turvy society.

    “I reduced the insolent crowd of carriages which cumber our streets, for this luxury of speed destroys its own aim; a pedestrian makes more headway than a hundred conveyances jammed end to end along the twists and turns of the Sacred Way.” ―Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)
