To Be — With Me

There’s something calming about listening to music with earphones on even when you’re alone. Maybe for the first time, your mind is at peace. When speakers are on, it feels like you want to be heard. But with earphones plugged in each ear hole, the world dissipates into the background, the world is just the scenery, and you are the center of the universe.

You are the center of being.

You can lie down and close your eyes. Or you could get up and have your own dance party. You are in in your own world. Your own bubble. Your own safe haven. Your own being. Whether you were feeling hot or cold, it slowly starts to feel like a pleasant breeze.

I hope we can come back here again.

Because times like these are hard to find. It is no longer an escape from the world, but it’s a need of the soul. Time to be with ourselves, time to hear ourselves, time to take care of ourselves. The world can wait but I cannot.

Play the music.
