A blog that I enjoy made a post about writing everyday around the same time...
I don't feel the need to explain more but I'll do it, or try to.
It is a very common thing for me to try and start something, like a 30 day thing, and not make it past the 3rd day. I'm very forgetful.

There's the sort of music that is soul enchanting, and once you discover it I don't see how you can be content listening to anything else. People who listen to loud, hard music. Such rough textured music, so invasive and abrupt. I'm for the music that reaches in, gently slides down your throat and into your heart. Grips your insides. It's often startling, because maybe you didn't know it was possible for music to affect you like this. A feeling similar to choking, if choking was a great thing. You're moved. I think that terminology is so accurate, being 'moved'. When I feel that way, it's as if my heart jumped a few inches forward, and I have to shift the rest of my body to catch up. Totally, literally moved.
I think music affects you like this when you get a sense, a very clear feeling of the artist's emotion . You can taste their tears right underneath yours. Their fingernails look a lot like yours.


What if you have everything that you desire, and yet still feel discontent? My textbook answer is to work towards enlightenment, where I can experience peace, but it is so much harder than it sounds. YOU try sitting still with your thoughts, seriously, try. I know I need practice, I just would rather be DOING things. And I know that's the problem.
