My Sanctuary...


You're 16 and you just lost your grip and screamed at your mom because, frankly, she's an idoit and while she insists that YOU DON'T LISTEN, in truth, she doesn't listen - she hasn't understood a word that's come out of your mouth for the last four years.

She sends you to your room (which is where you were headed anyway).

You throw yourself down in a full-body pout and snap your head in between 2 headphones like plugging a cord into a socket and then, through the dual miracles of Noise Reduction and Stereo Sound, you are transported.

Both calmed and validated, you are taken to a place inside yourself where things make sense and people understand you and your body moves with a kind of deliberate pulse that you will spend the rest of your life returning to because it is the teat of your sanity that keeps you from climbing a tower and showing those fools that none of this really matters...
