Personally I think everyone who enjoys music has this. A comfort song, artist, playlist. Something you go back to time and time again, to feel alive again.
Or feel something at least.
I'm the proud owner of several of those.
Playlists with my, ever changing, favorite songs. The ones I listen to when walking down the street to my destination. The ones that make me smile. The ones that make me feel, more.
And the ones I sometimes can't listen to.
The ones that on a bad day, make life only worse not better.
The ones that make me feel so much, but sometimes more than I'm capable of giving.
I think, deep in my heart, that my biggest dream would be to no longer have those days. Where my favorite songs, that make me so happy, are too much.
That instead of tears of joy, they are of sadness and loneliness, in a never stopping world.
But I do know that if I would ever be given the chance to never feel that again, I would decline.
Because even if it makes me cry on some days. The days were it brings me immeasurable happiness, are with more.
And I would never want to never have even heard the song, that at one moment lightened up my world.
