Being blind

I chose to blindfold myself, and it was actually a pretty nice experience, or well, the most of the time it was. I first took my headphones on and then I chose to mix A LOT of music on my phone. After putting on the music I took a cloth around my face, and over my eyes. I then fumbled around to find a blanket, and then I laid it over me once I had it. It was very dark I must say, but at the same time it was very cosy and relaxing. I really felt like I put the world aside and just had time to think. But after a very long time, I of course had to pee, and yeah, that of course went well. I got up and started to reach out for my door, I walked slowly because I was feeling insecure. I got it opened and started to walk towards the toilet. Or at least I thought I was walking in the direction of the toilet. But because of the kitchen door is right next to the toilet door, I off course walked a little to far, and walked straight into the kitchen door. But I still thought that it was the toilet door, so I just managed to get it open and kept on going in my insecure movements. I then knew that the toilet would be straight ahead, so I started to walk faster. But then I walk straight into a cupboard, and right after that my alarm goes off and my 1-hour was over. I took the cloth of my head and realized that I was in a totally wrong room, and then I just started to think about how much I appreciate my sight. Because I then felt that I was in control again, and my navigation has never meant more to me. But after this experience I can conclude that I will never be good as blind, unless I don’t move. But all in all, it was a quite fun experience.
