Kayleigh Corkery, "Submerged Noises" (PEOPLE 2023)

"Submerged Noises", to me is the sudden urge to drown out the surrounding noises, that are painfully hurting you. Your yearning for that silent sound where you can only hear your heart beat. Waiting for your beat to slow down. This affects many amongst us people who get very overwhelmed, it's surprising to know just alone noises can be a major contribution to stress on the human body. So if someone is covering their ears just know they may indeed be overwhelmed. There is much to learn from the human body and senses.
