my headphones broke in october and i'd been too cheap/too lazy to buy new ones - until today when i popped into one of those phone repair shops today that have those big neon lights outside to let everyone know 'WE FIX PHONES!!!'
so i listened to music whilst on the go for the first time since october and it was... kinda overstimulating ?! i like how much more i notice in silence; even if that means feeling uncomfortable when the wind hurts my ears and having to endure incessant howl of my mental to-do list and also the cars honking. even visually i am able to notice more subtleties when my sense of sound isn't being overpowered by music. anyway, this post is an oldie but i got rethinking about it today
