My hearing goes up to 5000Hz in my good ear. Bad ear is no good.
   Legally blind in one eye, good eye has crappy vision. But, I
   look regular and nobody knows a thing. Birth defects.

   Yet, I have perfect pitch. I can hear octaves in my mind that
   are higher than my ears have ever heard. I see clarity in my
   mind with acuity my eyes could never reach.

   So, I was lucky.

   I had to rely on my imagination to 'fill in the gaps' because i
   knew my machinery wasn't perfect. Reminding myself of that
   usually keeps depression at bay although there's always an
   undercurrent of melancholy that I just let do its thing in the
   background. It's a nice companion - keeps me humble.

   I also believe that anything is possible. In fact, I know it is.
