As children, the world is like a bundle of constant experiences. Day after day, the smaller details in life attract you at such a young age. And with every experience comes an emotion; feelings that stays attached to sights, sounds, people and places. As you grow older, you begin to take smaller things for granted. I started to think I had seen it all. It was a very boring and depressing phase, now that I think about it.
But, after that I went through a time of isolation. Surgery had left me stranded at home with homeschooling and no one to talk to. I spent my days on the internet, talking to people and slowly breaking the faux shell I had created over myself. I became aware of people making their own entertainment, dedicated artists that weren't in it for the money, just to show it to everyone for mutual satisfaction. Music was the biggest highlight for me. I discovered that, when made from the heart, even the simplest song can bring back what became completely irrelevant to you. I began to value the smaller things again. A song reminded of me the different feelings that the seasons leave on you, and how watching the sunset wasn't a waste of time after all. Life wasn't just clockwork.
Sometimes you need to feed your soul.
