Drowning out the world...

      “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” 
― John Lennon

      *Where would I be without my music? My headphones are the key to my happiness. They transmit the beautiful music that fills my head and takes me away to my special place. Sure I can use my phone's speakers, but they're not capable of drowning out the sounds of this horrid world that we live in. With my headphones I can only hear myself and the music that I play. 

                                           

     * Music has got to be man's greatest invention. So to take advantage of this I decided that if I'm not gonna talk to people I might as well listen to some tunes. I did notice that I was a bit more happy and less stressed because of the outside world being blocked out. Instead of worrying about what I was going to say to someone, I was just concerned about what the song was trying to tell me. I did this for a couple days now and feel like it's well worth ignoring the people that try to talk to with my headphones in, even though I feel horrible, they're most likely conversations that will just end in an uneasy silence anyway. This is probably one of those things that I would like to incorporate into my daily life. Music is one of the few things that just helps clear my mind even if its just for a couple of minutes at a time. It helps me to reflect upon myself and just plain brings joy to my life.
