Ignoring

This week, I was thinking a lot about sensory deprivation living in Philly. I often find myself "tuning out" when there are people yelling, cars honking, cars driving past, assorted construction noises, and other unenjoyable noises. Louv believes this selective type of hearing is reducing my ability to use my senses.
I believe this to be true. Instead of using my sense of hearing, sight, and smell to enjoy my surroundings, I must fight to tune out the chaos.
