I hope the seeds I have sown will be taken up by those who will follow me because the journey I have begun cannot be undertaken in isolation. ↗

Before my teen years, I was losing my hearing pretty quickly, and I was getting very, very angry. I was beginning to become an angry person because of that. ↗
