I was sitting next to a person on the subway, and I could hear the insistent beat of music from his ear-buds. I could hear it clearly: and I got to wondering: how could he stand the monotonous beat?
Drowning out the sound of your own mind, drowning out any emotion. I can't hear you. You can't hear you.
Well, of course I know that's the whole point! It's supposed to be relaxing. Clear mind, empty space.
But it's actually more like sweeping the dust under the carpets, and clearing the surfaces by stuffing the drawers. Ta-da! All clean! right?
Avoiding yourself never works. The emotion or the thought just slithers away inside and breaks out in a different form: a pain, an ache, an irritation, a lust for cookies and chips, a new book :)
Running away uses up a lot of energy and is exhausting. Instead of feeling tired or bored most of the time, Listen. Instead of putting up that barrier, Listen. Go a step further. Listen to what is behind them. Then another step further. You are the most amazing being there is. Not just you :) . Every single human being. The most amazing unique being. Listen. Pay attention to your own self.
