"Sometimes I turn up the music so loud I feel disconnected from the world around me. I feel like I'm floating above the room, watching the bodies twist and turn or the cars drive past. Is it bad that I don't want to be here, listening to the world, but instead wanting to be high above the clouds with my ears aching from the volume? It's the only time I feel alive. I should feel afraid that I will go deaf, but the music is so loud I can no longer hear my own thoughts."
