Blindfold yourself #Hometask

I chose to blindfold myself for an hour.

At first it was really weird not to see anything, because my sight is the sense I mostly use. Or I thought it was the sense I use the most… But I became cleverer after a few minutes of being blind, because then my other senses started to come into force. I could hear everything much better: for an example when my dog walked into my room (that was actually also some kind of scary because I didn’t see it at first – funny enough) and started sniffing around. The sound his snout is making when he smells things on the floor is not a sound I ever had noticed before.

When I walked down the stairs I was afraid of dying every time I took a step. But I arrived safely down in my kitchen, and I started eating something my mom gave me. To begin with I didn’t know what it was, but I felt the shape of the food, and found out that it was a piece of bread. Usually bread with no butter is unbelievably boring, but this time it wasn’t. It tasted different and I enjoyed it!

While I was blind I started wondering if people who are born blind see the same colours as people that haven’t. If they even see colours? I spent a lot of minutes thinking about that and other stuff. I could here my own thoughts much clearer, and I got deeper and deeper inside my head.

So all thing considered it was very funny, new, different and also some kind of healthy for me to be blind for an hour. I learned many things about myself and the world that I am living in.
