A Superpower Called Intuition
Three weeks ago I watched movers pack up my apartment swaddling my belongings into reams of cream colored paper. Items emptied into cardboard boxes, taped up, and one by one carried out the front door and into the moving van. A few days later I loaded the remaining items in my car. Plants, a suitcase full of clothes and toiletries, boxes of keepsakes, blankets, and pillows (the important stuff) and I set off on a 1,720 mile journey to my new home in California. Three weeks ago I left Kansas City after calling it home for the past 11 years, leaving behind friends and moving further away from my family. The three day road trip was exciting and terrifying (was I going to be safe by myself for three days on the road?).

A Lounge Singer's Day Job
“Well here we go, my shift starts”, Gus mutters to himself as he saunters from the front living room window to the office. His mom left a few minutes ago. At first he stood silently at the back door for a few minutes before running to the front window to peek through the one small hole in the blinds left by his over excitement months ago. The blinds are all closed so he relies on listening and peeking through the small rectangular hole in the front blinds that broke off right at eye level so he can stand and look right out onto the front street. Gus peeks through with squinted eyes concentrating on the driveway and sees her car drive away confirming she will not be right back.

A lesson of my broke brain
How do you decompress? At the end of the day how do you let go of all the shit and relax? How do you pay attention to the world around you but not become overwhelmed by the amount of sensory information bombarding your body? It’s constant. The input of data from talking, listening, watching, doing, breathing, and thinking and everything else we do every second of every 24 hours in a day. This brain injury of mine taught me so much about the amount of information our brains process every single moment of every day.
