Blindfolded

How I experienced being blind:

I just can´t see anything. My sense of sight is literally switched off. Like entering a black room where I can´t find the point, and if I did, turning the lights on still wouldn’t help. Because I can´t see anything lighted. I can´t see any light. I just can´t see anything. No colours, no movements, just nothing. My hands are my radar guiding me through the blackness. The blackness that I can´t even see. I have to sense where I am and where I´m going. Be careful of not bumping into a table or something like that. At first I moved slowly around, scared of falling or hitting anything, but after a while, I kind of got used to it.

In some way, it´s not that difficult being blind, because it seems like I hear and smell better. Of cause it can´t be true that my senses gets better the second I blindfold myself. But for some reason, when I can´t see, it seems like the sounds increases and my nose gets more sensitive. It´s obvious that it´s easier walking around when I´m able to see, but I think I could get used to it. Of cause there´s things, which would make my everyday-life troublesome, if I got blind, but there is always props and cons of everything.
