What a great piece
My goodness. It’s a real thing?
I also have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Learning that AIWS was a real thing as an adult was shocking and then brought me a great deal of comfort, making me feel less insane.
Now learning about tachysensia i am equally shocked and comforted. It was always very scary when I experienced it as a child and would often happen specifically with my father, who was a difficult and often mentally abusive person. He was scary to begin with but sometimes his movements would become faster than a human should be able to move and he would be so much louder than anything else which made me so much more afraid.
I can’t believe this is a real thing. Absolutely amazing.
Keep guitars out in places you are, have a loop pedal.
I’ve been playing for 30 years. Aside from a few slow weeks here and there, I pick up the guitar pretty much daily. I keep an acoustic upstairs by the TV and an electric setup with a loop station and some pedals in the basement. Having one in sight and close is very helpful. But honestly to create sound is really what keeps me coming back. Every time I sit down to play, I try to make something new. I’ll lay down a new loop and then improvise over it. Sometimes it’s mediocre and sometimes I hit something that is very inspiring. It almost feels out of my control.
I don’t have a real objective for guitar any more. No career goals, no performing. Mostly just making stuff up and occasionally learning a song on the acoustic. Of all the things I do, it provides the deepest satisfaction.
Also very curious what book this is from
