Scusi tu!?!

What I really want to tell my therapist

When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

My vision have been tarnished by an illness that causes my brain to malfunction. My eyes work perfectly, but what I see is completely different to you. Because unlike you, there are certain chemicals acting in my brain to make it interpret the world as a darker place. Just keep this in mind. Because when you tell me things like ‘don’t worry’, ‘cheer up’, and ‘stop stressing so much’ all you do is make me feel worse about not having the biochemistry to be able to do so.
