Totally blind since birth. Yes, voice is definitely a big factor for me, with personality/interests a very close second!

If you don't mind, may I ask, how you are able to keep up with a world that is increasingly addicted to visual distractions (facebook pictures, tikotok videos, instagram reels etc) and content that is moving from text to video formats.

Also (and sorry for so many questions I never met anyone blind from birth), do you feel more at peace than people with vision (anecdotally)? Because people can barely sit for 15 minutes in meditation and I always wondered what would not being aware of one sense completely felt like (not losing but never having).
