RE: Dead space

I remember back in the late 90s I met this girl from Oaxaca Mexico, and because I was a crazy young person I hopped on a bus from Austin Texas and went straight down south until basically I hit water in a little village called Puerto Angel. I stayed in this tiny fishing village for a couple of years, often sleeping outside on a hammock to the sounds of the jungle and ocean crashing. No civilization for hundreds of miles. I got so used to these sounds it felt like my breathing synchronized to the ocean.

When I finally moved back to Austin, it took me weeks to fall asleep properly. Everyone seemed so manic, running around in circles. The TVs, angry drivers in traffic, negative energy and the lack of the jungle sounds really messed with me! So I totally get where you're coming from. You get used to a particular pace of life and sounds of the night and it's hard to adjust to such a big change.
