I am entering today into a dark rabbit hole, because we discuss a bit about living with probable synesthesia<\/strong> as a metal music listener.

\nWhile writing this piece, I must say that I had to confront some kind of weird self-discovery, so I am opening myself to scrutiny and the public eye\u00a0to correct my odd self-diagnosis. I never went to a psychologist or made some kind of guided therapy, so anything in this brief chronological piece of thought is just my point of view.<\/p>\n

Since I was a child, my imagination was very vivid, and things like drawing monsters and heroes on my notebook was the type of hobby I liked the most. Of course, video games and reading were another part of my daily child play, but even when those activities consumed my free time I was not an overly solitary kid since I enjoyed playing with other people too.<\/p>\n

But, here is the part that does not click with the entire puzzle of my past (at least according to my extroverted Caribbean roots<\/a>). Even when I did not loathe at all the company, I was most comfortable at home, alone. I wasn\u2019t a particularly sad child, just a little bit overly reflexive and analytic.<\/p>\n

In my first years, music was not exactly a huge part of my life, but there was something alien and attractive behind the act of devoting time to be lost in a sea of sounds.<\/p>\n

When I reached the age of 9 (that is 97 in my Half-Elf years), my cousins and I used to lock ourselves in to listen nu metal and MTV crap<\/strong><\/a>, a decision that would pave the road to where I am right now (you know, writing personal crap to thousands of international internet people!). Shortly after these first juvenile listening sessions I bought a lot of pirated records in my hometown, and in a matter of weeks, my house\u2019s Stereo was quickly overthrown by this weird narrator.<\/p>\n
