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
If we’re being honest, this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s just my read on it.
From my side, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That’s just my read on it.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move That’s what changes the context.
Bluntly speaking, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what changes the context. That’s just my read on it.
On the surface, the wording alone shifts how people read this which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what makes this interesting. Time will tell.
At this point, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s the part people are stuck on Curious how this plays out.
Reaction: Why am I scared? Probably because one time my grandma got pulled over when I was a kid and she told the cop that her bad driving was because of me and he came to my window. I didnt do anythi
If you zoom out, this depends heavily on what happens next Let’s see what happens next.
Putting bias aside, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where people will push back Curious how this plays out.
Reaction: Too real..
Reaction: me_irl
If we’re being honest, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting.
Reaction: It makes a huge difference.

On the surface, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which turns this into more of a debate Feels like there’s more coming here.
