Constantly. It never stops. Right now, I am hearing my neighbor’s window-mounted AC unit, an airplane, an idiot speeding on a motorcycle, another airplane, someone using a microwave downstairs, an idiot speeding in a fast (loud) car on the freeway, various cars driving on the streets around my house as well as a freeway 3 minutes away, a police car siren, and a multitude of crickets. This is on a quiet day at 8:30 PM.

My brain is incapable of filtering any of my senses, so I sense everything that is physically possible for me to sense all the time. I usually resort to closing my door and window, closing the curtains on my windows, turning off my lights, and just being in a dark, isolated cave, but my mom doesn’t like that lifestyle very much, so she comes in and opens the window and door, which is not fun and immediately demolishes all my productivity.
