that's one of the advantages of being deaf, i could just turn off my hearing aids and get some peaceful sleep. but then i'm most likely to be burnt alive if the building i live in were ever to catch fire.

were you born without the ability to hear?

i weighed at 13 pounds when my mother gave birth to me. while i was being pushed, i suffocated and the pressure went to my head, severely popped the drums of my ears. try holding your nose and blow without opening your mouth...feel that in your ears? it was 10 times worse. my mother ended up getting c section, anyway. we didn't find out i was deaf til i was 2.

i know that it's probably pretty hard to not get down about it, but you shouldn't. the people who treat you badly are just ignorant.
everybody has problems. yours has just manifested itself physically. take care to not weigh your issues against others. it's not fair and tends to make people perceive you just as you wish they didn't.

i've already learned and accepted the fact that people are going to be ignorant about it. there are times when i'm all bottled up and my patience runs out, i start bitching to let out the steam. i go through this type of cycle every 3 months. i remind myself that it could've been a lot worse for me anyway. i could be deaf and blind with no legs and no arms, living in a one room rat infested apartment with a dysfunctional black family of 10 kids on welfare and deep in debt.
