On music

I stopped listening to music about 2 years ago. It was strange, I was very heartbroken and listened to the same 2 soulful r&b artists, india arie and anthony hamilton if you must know, beautiful singers, and then when i stopped being heartbroken I basically just left off of music. I think to an extent it was because the songs then reminded me of a painful time which I wanted to forget. And I didnt find new artists that I liked. but i just gave up pretty quickly on looking. When I do hear it I appreciate it. and think to myself oh i should really listen to music more. but then i just dont. I gave my ipod away. you walk down the street or sit on the subway and nearly everyones got headphones in. I just listen to the world now. It doesnt really cross my mind to listen to music on my own. I think its also somehow connected to how deeply passionate I am. I really wear my heart on my sleeve. and I think sometimes music just brings it out too much. I was in a taxi and there was a Spanish love song playing and it was just so overwhelmingly beautiful I burst into tears. its exhausting.
