There’s so many captivating things in the world. Many of them no one understands. Some of the most captivating things for me are, listening to music and thinking.
Listening to music makes me lose track of time like no other, I can sit there and listen to music for hours without moving. Not only does it calm me down, but it feels as if I’m being dragged into another world where time itself isn’t a concept. Where everything is nice, regrets don’t exist, and the biggest problem is well nothing. As someone who suffers with anxiety, it’s the most calming thing to me, besides from having a trusted physical being around to help. In the land of music it’s like nine o’clock haze. Birds singing children laughing and playing kittens sleeping.
Thoughts are captivating, but not in the best way. Yes they’re interesting and yes they’re important, but thoughts swarm and hurt. When they creep up on you like a stalking prey, and you sit for hours just questioning why you’re even here, why aren’t you just dead. That’s when it hurts, feels like your lungs are being suffocated. Like everything’s lost. There’s good thoughts too, ones about how good things are, how good your friends are, how much worse your life could be. Those thoughts are rare, but happen in the best of times.
With all the captivating things in the world, those are just two that really stand out to me as a person.
