2019-11-041h 36Matt Duffin ShowThe Matt Duffin Show: The Slow Lane's Great View...Understanding what we never imagined; seeing the ways of others ways but not ours. It's a brain injury bonus, and a slippery Slope to ski down. Nothing is imaginary, (OK, for most survivors) yet feeling lifeless is what others around us will make us feel - lifeless. Choices, decisions and ''ways'' are no longer ours, but we do have a say (don't we?). That's because in most cases, those particular 'others' are inside their own minds, providing reactionary thoughts - not necessarily helpful thoughts. They are ''busy'' in the day of life, we are just 'busy' searching for our life. None of t...
