ASMR Whispered Ramble Doodle for Giveaway

Yes, that's right, I'm having a giveaway! I haven't decided all the details of how to pick the winner or anything, but it's likely that it will be limited to US residents only. I really hate to have to do that but I simply don't have the money to ship overseas right now. :( Maybe in the future I can make giveaways international. Stay tuned for more information!

On Discovering ASMR

I wrote this shortly after finding out about ASMR:

It wasn't long ago that I had no clue that this sensation I got from certain sounds, certain actions, and other events wasn't experienced by everyone. I didn't understand why whispering in my fiance's ear didn't make him melt, didn't make him react in any way at all the way that I would (of course it did make him happy because we love each other but that sensation is separate from the tingly feeling I get). I thought that everyone experienced this warm body tingle that I felt from certain things. I was having trouble sleeping and looked up 'office sounds' on youtube because sitting in an office, library, waiting room, or any other quiet area with background noises like typing or shuffling papers made me feel so calm, so warm, so happy. The first video that I clicked on had an acronym in the title - ASMR. I was curious because the video seemed to be tailor made for me. All the sounds were exaggerated and the person in the video was doing things very purposely for the sounds, and I began to notice that the way she was making the noises - I mean, the visuals - was putting me in an almost trance-like state. I read the description, and this acronym kept being mentioned. The word 'trigger' was repeatedly mentioned in the comments. I had to search using this term - ASMR. A new world opened up to me immediately and within minutes my jaw had dropped and my eyes widened. It was an awe inspiring moment for me, and although I've just discovered this knowledge, I know it is a moment that I will remember forever, a moment that changed my life for the better. This acronym that I was curious about gave a name to the sensation I have felt for as long as I can remember. It also made me aware that not everyone felt this sensation. It suddenly made sense why my fiance doesn't appreciate little sounds in the way I do. It made sense why my classmates didn't continue to want to do things like 'play doctor' or mess with one another's hair as they grew up, where I secretly wished I could play those childhood role playing games well into adulthood. I've been chasing a sensation that I wasn't aware I had; I was seeking those moments without having a clear understanding of why. It's amazing what a name given to a feeling can do to change your life. I struggle with anxiety and since learning about ASMR I have been able to manage it so much more easily because I am able to trigger myself into a calm state of mind. Saying that this has been life changing event is in no way an exaggeration. Finding out about ASMR has made my life more bearable, and I feel that it will only get better from here.
