Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.36,0:03:51.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they transformed my problem \Nfrom high intracranial pressure

Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.70,0:04:04.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the damage was done.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.70,0:04:08.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I could finally come back to school,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.49,0:04:10.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I wasn’t the same anymore.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.54,0:04:44.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because every time something hard happens\Nto you, there’s a force,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.79,0:05:13.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also, when I hear or play music
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.50,0:05:17.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that’s a way to escape from the \Ndifficulties I pass in my life
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.50,0:05:20.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and now I can remember complete Bob\NDylan’s lyrics,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.11,0:05:22.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is quite crazy.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.08,0:05:29.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because now I use it as one of the most important senses.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.65,0:05:36.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based on what I have seen and on other\Nsensorial channels.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.29,0:05:39.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have to use imagination as a creative \Nand logical instrument
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.68,0:05:44.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to survive in this reality that relies \Ntoo much on visual stimulation.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.89,0:05:50.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I can do that because there’s a \Ndifference between looking and seeing

Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.24,0:05:58.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Seeing and listening aren't about an \Naccurate capacity of your senses,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.69,0:06:00.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they mean sensibility,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.37,0:06:03.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to understand things and have empathy\Nwith others,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.42,0:06:07.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so for this I think I can see better now\Nthan before.
