She’s doable.
Joking aside, yeah – that is some touching shit. I mean, I can imagine not being able to walk or not use my left arm or some other handicaps, but I’ll never be able to fathom not being able to hear or see. Those two specifically have always stood out as being impossible to understand from the outside looking in. Then, to take it a step further, to go from not being able to hear to suddenly this huge world of SOUND being open to you… Damn. Incredible.

A couple of fun facts:
People who are blind do not see all black, they see NOTHING.Also, people who are not blind can still have visual hallucinations when they trip.
That just made me uneasy. WHAT THE FUCK DOES NOTHING LOOK LIKE?

I’ve always wondered how people understand what English sounds like when you’ve never heard sounds before. She asks “can you hear me?” and the lady responds yes, eventhough she has never heard the sounds that form those words before. How does she immediately know how to interpret those sounds?? I can’t wrap my head around that. It’s amazing.
I had a couple of blind friends in college, and sometimes we would pick their brains about how they handled certain things being blind. One day, I handed one of the girls a snow globe to feel. After describing what was inside the globe, she said that she had no concept of “clear” and how something can be solid, yet you can see through it. She said that all her life, people have tried to explain “clear” to her, but it’s just fundamentally something she’ll never understand. So to her it just felt like a solid ball, where to everyone else it had stuff that we could see floating around inside it. Crazy.

Most deaf people learn to read lips, could that be how they understand the language even if they’d never heard it before? Interesting question.
