My life with aphasia

How terrible it is, when you want to say something and you cannot find the words to put your thoughts in to words. That is what I am suffering of every day. Stuck in a sentence, being mad at myself and then using the wrong words not telling what you want to tell in the first place.
And hopelessly , as a result of that not saying anything at all. It makes life more and more difficult to socialize. Every day I find myself living inside of me. Avoiding conversations in general and on top of that getting alienated of the people around me. The fact that while this is happening, people are alienating them selfs from me too. They do not understand me anymore and start avoiding any conversation from their part. It's like a spiral of mutual incomprehension and drives me deeper in to myself.
Sometimes people think they can help me by telling me that things will get better one day, but I wonder. I hope they are right. They mean well and they probably also don't know what to say.
My only escape is my photography. My world of spiritual wellbeing. A world without problems. A world where I can put my stories in to images. Connecting the light and dark parts of life in a world where words are redundant to make everything sensible and not in need of any explanation.
My world. A world of never ending stories. Materializing dreams of my soul.
