@butterbooter With your actual state.

[Maham Malik @MahamO_o]

@butterbooter Genuinely feel this, especially during times of heightened stress (whether work or personal). Listening to music mindlessly just masks your true state and feels inauthentic. But listening to music mindfully, as an activity in itself, you find yourself turning to things that align

“Maybe everything would have been exactly the way it was, because a person’s existence is not made up of things, but of flesh and bones and blood: a great view from the balcony doesn’t erase a person’s obsession with themselves.”

“Other people’s history can be read comfortably, the way a novel can be read comfortably. But my own history? I’m on the run from my own history, and catching my breath in the present”.
