I never thought something as calming as listening to relaxing music could turn into a strange visual experience. There I was, headphones on, drifting into my favorite ambient playlist when—bam!—those little squiggly shadows appeared again. At first, I brushed it off as nothing. But then it kept happening. Every time I tuned into soothing tunes,…
Last week, while wrapping up another marathon journaling session—tea on one side, calming playlist on the other—I noticed something odd. Those familiar little specks and squiggles started dancing across my vision again. “Here we go,” I thought. If you’re like me and enjoy writing for long stretches, you might have also seen those annoying floaters…
It was a breezy Saturday afternoon when I decided to unwind in my backyard hammock.
