Last night I attended a concert for the first time in years......At some point I just started listening to the sounds around me; not just the music. Voices, conversations, people talking just to be heard but really saying nothing. Imagine competing with the volume of a concert to try and carry on a conversation just to be social.....It just seemed so odd. Somehow as I was listening to the sounds I also began to feel the emotions of the people around me. I wish I hadn't, I seem to be more perceptive than I like and I was right about the tension building; and the blissful blindness to it by others. I don't Like tension, so I avoid it at all costs. Sometimes the pain starts before anyone even knows they have created it. I hated that moment; it drained me, completely, I was filled with awe one moment, floating back in time and then crashing back to earth and reality. That night I thought about music and how much I love it; and then I thought about every concert I had ever been to and realized there was always a reality check after; so that is why I avoid them. I will continue to love my music but in my own special way; quietly and alone so I can get lost in the sounds of silence!
