The moments of my life I enjoy so much…. Our house is dark and quiet. Parents are out somewhere. Kid sister is staying over at her friend’s house. I’m lying on the floor staring at the ceiling. A couple candles light the hallway. Comparing to the heat outside during the day, the evening is fresh and renewing. The window is opened.
There are so many things to do and think about while lying like this. You can listen to the sounds outside. Something my friend taught me long time ago and something I still love doing is trying to listen to every single sound coming from the street separately, not as a single concert of city chaos. First you hear just cars. Then you switch attention to the people talking outside somewhere. After you recognize the sounds, move on to listening to the wind, leaves on the trees. And then, when all of the sounds are identified, listen to the whole melody. It is really relaxing.
I also love plucking my ears with headphones. I’ve got big ones at home. They make the sound perfect, and don’t mess it up. On evenings like this one I make a playlist of different songs. Different performers and genres – what can better underline my mood…? Sometimes it feels so good digging through old CD’s like INXS or Tom Petty and listening to old music that sounds so new. I love being alone, when it’s just me and my music.
