A couple of days into this challenge and I’ve realized something very important and that is: If I’m going to learn to love music again I’m going to have to take periodic breaks from her during the week. The reason for this is because I truly want to appreciate her. I don’t to move to fast and settle into old habits only to find myself right back where I started.
Today is one of those days. I’m going to take some time today to just listen to silence and when I return to her I’ll be so much more appreciative.
