Weird / wonderful experience with music
I'm 31 and I've been casually listening to music my whole life, occasionally I would be moved, but usually it was background noise. For the last couple months I've been listening to music, actively, with my full focus.
I have what is diagnosed as overactive bladder, so that all the time, to varying degrees of intensity it feels like I need to pee, I have a hard time handling it, there is a constant single in my brain telling me something is wrong.
I was listening to dvorak's 6th symphony and in discomfort and instead of thinking of the notes as something separate from me I began to think of them as part of an entire moment, the notes and my body forming one unit. And , for the first time in a long time, I didn't think of my body as "wrong", my body and the notes were the same thing, and the notes were beautiful so I was beautiful, I wasn't wrong. And I wept. It only lasted a few minutes and I don't expect to replicate a feeling that intense, but it was amazing to feel that way for a bit.
I was sober btw
To be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
At first glance, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which is why the comments look the way they do At least from my perspective.

From a neutral view, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s where the disagreement starts Not convinced this is settled yet.
Not gonna lie, the timing matters more than people admit and that friction is hard to ignore This could age very differently in a week.
From where I sit, the follow-through is what will decide this That’s what makes this interesting. At least from my perspective.
Honestly, the follow-through is what will decide this
I get the idea, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome Let’s see what happens next.

At this point, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that tension shows up immediately We’ll see how people react over time. That’s the impression it gives me.
