[Kaderin Triste]

My brain is definitely a lot more noisy. It also doesn't really filter out sounds, but it does layer things by their importance. Like, I always hear the noise of my refrigerator, chest freezer, and fans running, but since they're not super important, then my inner conversation and over-thinking the things that I am typing/saying are "louder" (although they don't really have any noise) or if I'm watching a show, that's the dominant noise. In some cases, I will kind of tune put the noise (songs or movies for example), where the noise will still be there, but it will almost go fuzzy/lose focus because a different task like counting stitches and rows on a loom project is more important but when the sound stops, I always notice right away. And I almost daily will get a song (or 3) stuck in my head. Sometimes all at the same time, which is just the worst because I'll end up with a 3-4 line mashup song snippet at the end of it.
