It is very common for me to come home and hear the loud sounds of the tv play in the background. My mother works from home so she likes to keep the tv on. She says it gives her comfort because it gives her the impression that someone is with her while my father and I are not home. Upon coming home, I reach for the remote and lower the sound. I absolutely hate when the tv volume is high especially right after I return from school. I’m tired and all I want to do is eat and rest. The tv noise plays over my voice as I try to speak to my mother, she tries speaking over the tv. We battle against the sound of the tv and try to increase our tone. Someone that is used to Going home and hearing nothing but the sound of their breathe as they open their door. The wooshing sound of the door pushes open and the footsteps as they take a few steps inside before removing their shoes. These are sounds I never hear but desire the most. I want to hear sounds of my life, I want to hear my living . If they were to walk into my house I think they would be taken aback by the noise and maybe resort to headphones for the rest of the day.
