It's not as bad as it seems.

Being unable to see...sure it's a little hard to get around...and maybe I bump into things...but it doesn't matter.

I'm still alive and well aren't I?

I'm often asked by my sisters and those I meet if I want to see again; the answer is...well...I'm not sure.
I'm so used to the darkness, that I don't think it even matters anymore, I'm not the only blind person out there you know? I'm sure they get asked this sort of thing too...

Yes...I would like to see my sisters again, the sky, the stars, the green fields of Elavernis, what was engraved on my parents graves too.

If I fall truly in love I would like to see my lovers face, that would be a blessing indeed.

Yeah...that would be nice...

But my sight isn't something that can magically be made back into existence,it's gone forever.

Remember when I said it's not so bad?

Well...without my sight I appreciate sounds far more than I used to.
Sounds and feelings.
The sounds of my sister's voices are all different to me.
Crimson is strong and wise, Sarah is stubborn but sweet, and Frannie kind of sounds like sunshine if it could be a sound. Haha...that's a little lame in hindsight.

Everything has a sound, and sometimes it's like I can feel those sounds...
The rustling of the grass and the flow of a river.
They're very vibrant, it's a little hard to put into words.

I wonder what the sound of my true love will be?
Who knows...
I'll find out soon enough...once I hear the tone that's meant just for me.

...

When I think back...to when I first lost my sight...I was so upset and angry.
Now I wonder why it was like that...but when I think really hard I know it's because I had lost sight of the world I'd come to adore.
Those moments that the toxins were put in my eyes hurt the most, because everything I knew faded into nothing.

Started out as blots of shadow...then forms left me...then colours...and finally everything.

I'm sure I've gotten plenty of pity looks, it's a little annoying.
I'm not just some poor blind boy wandering around with no purpose!
I have a name and dreams still!

Perhaps I'm overreacting, but it stings when people tell me to maybe find a guide or get help from my family...I hate it actually.
I want to live as if I weren't blind, it seems a bit much to ask these days.
Geeze.

...

I tuned my cello yesterday...my sister Frannie commented on how I knew each peg that tuned each string.

"It's amazing you can get it with no problem, I'm proud big brother." She said to me.

I think I blushed, such a sweet sister, without my family I wouldn't be able to do any of that. Play the cello and try to reach my goals.

They kept making me memorize and play after the incident, they helped inspire me.
Soon everything became clear, and it started out by memorizing where my fingers went, but now I can play by the sound.

I can hear every tone I play...each fluctuation in the vibrato I play...every string skip.

I wish I could show you...

What it's like...

That it's actually quite the adventure!
I don't wish for anyone to befall the fate of myself and many others...but If you could just truly understand...

It would be wonderful.

SPAMMIN' THE VOLSA FOLDER...I'M SO SORRY.

I ended up writing out a stream of Noel ranting.
I like him a lot as a character...he's really special to me for one reason or another.

He's never really upset or mad at the world, pretty chill OC of mine.
I admire him XD
