MUSTAFA ARDA KARTIN

About three years ago, while attending preparatory class, I realized that everyone was saying, “Imagine it, picture it in your mind.” This wasn't considered strange for anyone else, but I couldn't see anything, and now these kinds of words seemed very strange to me. However, until today, I couldn't clearly explain my own problem, either to myself or to others. I couldn't describe this problem. At the same time, when someone asked me to imagine a smell, I couldn't do it, or a taste, or a sense of touch, but most of my friends could feel it. I felt a little sad because having something that so many people have but I don't felt like a kind of deficiency. Now, however, I feel that there are millions of people like me, and that comforts me. I feel that I need to learn more about this topic and meet people who experience the same things as me. And what saddens me the most is that I will never be able to relive any of my childhood memories and will never be able to experience a visual dream, having to guess the visuals from the sounds alone.
