Music

I love music. The more I grow musically the more I fall in love with music. But then, sometimes I hate music. My obsession for music is the reason for my hate towards music at times. It's not because I listen to music too much, it's because I associate memory with music and in doing so it draws heavy emotions from songs. I could listen to a song during a trip, and then when I get back I will forevermore associate that song with that trip. So when I listen to that song all the good memories of that trip will flood in. Wait a second? Did I say good? Wouldn't that be a good thing? Yes and no. Sure, I get to remember the good times, but then I realize how those memories will never happen again. They're the past and I'm in the present. I can never relive nor recreate those memories. A part of me is also afraid those memories will fade, but fortunately I think this music memory problem will solve that.
