I'm usually in the middle of a mood shift when music really starts affecting me.

I've been listening to all of Daughter's EPs and albums all day and I can feel the music physically. My heart is just choked by all of it. My favourite song of theirs is about a young person dying unexpectedly, possibly by suicide. I just got home and hit shuffle on the playlist and of course that was the song that came on.

Sigh. I had several weeks of freedom from the constant drama of FEELING everything.

I mean, I'm a writer and a musician, and I do my best work in the state I'm in right now. In between. Not manic or depressed but reactive and tired of heart. I actually wouldn't want to be any other way, not with the things I come up with when I'm like this, but geez.

I thought I was a normal person for a little while.
