Help me. *Help*.

I live within a cacophony. It seizes my heart in an iron-like grip as it roars the roars of a thousand lions. My screams drown in the never-ending noise, and as I close my eyes, my hands over my ears, I suddenly realize...

I can stop this. I can switch the outside off. Turn off the phone notifications. Hey, here's a wild idea... *turn off the phone*.

Turn off YouTube, email, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, television, radio...

Turn it all *off*.

And then, maybe I'll be able to hear my heart *think*.
