“If sight was the only sense you had, how do you think your life would be different?”

If sight was the only sense you had, how do you think your life would be different? All that's a tough question. Well, I definitely have a lot of memories tied to music and to smells. There are certain songs that -- there are certain songs that evoke distinct, specific memories that I think that no matter how old I get, will always be tied to those memories. And smells too. There is -- I have a jewelry box from my Nana who passed away in 2013. And, I have things in there in stock, it's just the jewelry box. There's no jewelry in it. It's just, I have it -- it's like a little storage thing, but I rarely open the doors, because even now it's been eight years, over eight years. And if you open the door just a crack, you can still smell her perfume, and it's a smell that I haven't smelled in -- maybe nine years. She was sick for about seven months before she died and she was in a hospice for four of those. And so she didn't go out and she wasn't wearing makeup, she wasn't wearing jewelry and of course she wasn't wearing perfume, but it's something that I will -- the entire house smelled like it, her bathroom, her dresser, it all smelled like that. So I -- I rarely open that door and when I do, it just floods out, so it's very, very specific and I think, I think that -- not -- if I were to lose my other senses and only have sight today, then I think those things I would miss a lot because I would just have the memory of that. And, and it's really hard to describe a sense memory like that. And so it's -- I think life would be dull without the rest of your senses.

“Have you ever pretended to spy? Or have you ever spied as a kid?”

Have you ever pretended to spy? Or have you ever spied as a kid? And this is the thing, this is the thing. So me and my brother, we would be upstairs in our rooms, and my parents will be downstairs doing something. We'd be going to bed, and we go on spy missions. That was our thing. They were called spy missions. We had multiple weird games that we play when we were younger, but that was one of the many. And so, the spy missions, we would -- it usually start with him annoying me and me trying to go to bed, but he would come my room, be like, come on, let's go on a spy mission. And I'm like, why? He's like, I can't go to bed. And I was like, okay, that's fine. So we'd go on a spy mission. My brother, I think he's three years older than me. So he -- I don't know why he did this. He's a very strange person. But we'd go on spy missions and be like go down the steps very quietly and he always walk first -- I mean, I always walk first because if I stepped on a creak and I got in trouble, then he wouldn't, cuz he'd run upstairs. But I just remember so many times racing upstairs to make sure that we didn't get caught. Even if we did get caught, we wouldn't have got in trouble. It would have just been like, oh, we're out of bed.

“…it was just a little scary doing the whole thing as a nineteen-year-old teenager”

One thing that I have been grateful for in the last week, has been my family and the support that they provide. I just recently bought my first car and was able to buy it without a loan or without financing it and in full cash just because of my parents' support, but it's been particularly difficult because I had to learn how to buy a car, how to go to -- just like the process of going through dealerships, and working things out, and working the insurance out all on my own. My parents just helped me with the finances a little bit, but it was just a little scary doing the whole thing as a nineteen-year-old teenager, but yeah-- it was also exciting. And now I have a car and that's been -- I've been very grateful for that.
