Prologue

There are five senses that define our existence as human beings: touch, sight, smell, taste, and hearing. These senses allow us to experience the world and interact with our environment, and they are essential to our survival and daily lives. But for people like me, those who live without one of these senses, life can definitely be more challenging. I am Makari Kian Beltran, and I am deaf. Without the sense of hearing, I move through the world with a different perspective, experiencing life in a way that is unfamiliar and often known as "not normal"

But what does 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 mean when this kind of life has always been my 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭.
