To have, for just one moment again in time, the silence of sound. The clarity of mind. To feel energised by life and not drained by it. I imagine standing on a windswept shore. The noise I hear is the rustle of seagrass, the blowing of the southerly wind, the heave and heft of the ocean. Sea salt and sand pepper my skin. The incessant ring in my ears is quiet, drowned out by the oceans song or swept away, I neither know nor care, I cannot hear it. The salty air fills my lungs, its brusqueness blows away the ever present fog in my brain. Thoughts, swirling vaguely in my brain, come to the forefront. They take shape, as clear and sharp as the broken shells beneath my feet. I'm not moving through a miasma, I'm as clear as the sun shining through the water that rolls onto the sand and back out again. Each deep breath clears more fog from my head and returns more of me to myself, as if the real me lives out there in the ocean, waiting to be breathed in on the winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI miss who I was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKelly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMénière's disease since 1998\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDear Meniere's Disease, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBecause of you ...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast year my neighbour asked my girlfriend if we had separated because he hadn't seen me for months. \u003cstrong\u003eThat hurt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast year I couldn't make the fl ight that enabled me to say a proper goodbye to my dying Gran. \u003cstrong\u003eThat hurt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast year you took away my creative soul, and most of my hobbies until I could just stare at nothing but four walls 24\/7. \u003cstrong\u003eThat hurt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast year I counted to 73.
