You ever feel that there is this constant hum of loud background noise. It's there, and it's getting louder.
And every night, you go to sleep, hoping that the next day it will be gone, But it's not. It's there, but maybe a little louder. And you have two choices- you can either try and ignore it, but you can't. Because it's there. So you just try and carry on, ignoring the noise, maybe doing some work and binging on netflix, and feeling weird and stressed out and miserable and sad because you're like, "This friggin' noise, everyone! Can't you hear it?"
Or you can focus on the noise, looking to find some way to turn it off. But when you do, the noise just get louder and louder and louder until you feel like you're adrift in it, drowning, succumbing under waves of high-pitched wails straight from a horror movie until you're forced to retreat, battered and bruised and broken.
And the noise continues.
You know, something like that?
