oh, it's a glacier that left millions of years ago! no mountains, just a very Great Lake (in this case, Michigan, but I was born next to Erie and my grandmother lived just north on the shores of Ontario...so apparently this is my destiny in some weird way). but i will whisper a hello to what's left of it and maybe the mountains will hear. i miss them too! <3
usually with my synesthesia, it only makes me associate things with a taste as well as the main sense something would stimulate for anyone else (i.e. songs have a sound and a taste for me, other people only hear a sound)
only two things have stimulated all of my senses at once like this:
the love of my life, my boyfriend
and this game. thank you for this. i feel alive again. i can hear the faint music from the boardwalk and feel the warm water splashing against my legs. the sun, the sand. the taste of saltwater taffy - birthday cake flavored.
it all feels so wonderful
thank you for listening without having to hear a word. for speaking volumes with no mouth.
I just replayed this for a list I'm doing for my blog and I cried again! I think it speaks to the power of this peace that it can make me cry so hard when I already know exactly how it goes. This is beautiful, thank you for sharing and for listening.

I absolutely loved this experience. Very impactful and though the art and the story told was very powerful.
