What's on my mind today? A lot of things I must say like always nothing out of the usual. Mind racing like it's on cocaine will never know if it's anxiety or if I am just wired like this because from the time I can remember I have been like this i.e "overthinking" and "overanalysing" the crap out of everything, unable to shut it down or put it on a leash. Sometimes it is fun in some ways I kind of like it but most of the time it is a nightmare especially in situations in which there are considerable about of external pressure already my crazy mind just adds fuel to the fire, well not everyone is perfect I know I am not. To give you a perspective of how horrific experience it is to have a mind like this I will give you an example, let's say my mother is not home at the time she's supposed to be then I'll be cooking up the worst-case scenario in my head, whenever I get a call from a number I don't have in my contacts heart races like hell. The flipside to this double-edged sword is that whenever I listen to music or soak in complex piece's of art I can get maybe two or three interpretations at the same time. Every single time I listen to a song I have heard before I get a different interpretation of it which is fantastic. If you have gone through my other blogs and took your time to listen to some artist which I listen to then you would know I like music which are complex both lyrically and instrumentally, listening to pieces like that and unwinding every single instrument and dissecting each line gives a natural high which cant be substituted by anything I believe, it is euphoric nothing comes close to it on the plus side it's legal and free.
I consider myself very much lucky and privileged to be able to perceive music the way I am as I have found out from my research which was done to understand why can't others other than my best buddy can't see or understand the greatness of some amazing pieces of art. After some considerable surfing, I came to know that not everyone gets goosebumps on the back of their necks and all over their body while listening to music, it's not necessary for everyone to feel the music they can be as cold and numb as corpses when some of the greatest works may be playing. A study from 2017 has shown that when your favourite music activates the same part of the brain which many addictive drugs do. Addiction to music is considered to be one of the healthiest addictions, maybe the only time someone says I am proud to be an addict.

ReplyDeleteThank you I am always and will be proud and greatful for me beign the way I am.
DeleteBlacksheep you do have a profound mine. Appreciating your view that understanding many aspects of music, do work like recreational drugs. It is harmless,, not illegal and not addictive. Thou are blessed to understand the inner meanings, to me music is simple rendering of meaningful lyrics. Keep away from "drugs" the one that is not legal, let music be the addiction.
