I enjoy days like this



Today, I've forgotten to bring my earphones out. I wanted to go back home and get it but decided not to. I wonder why though. I wonder if the lack of earphones today contributed to this but I felt rather calm. For the record, today was strangely calm. The sounds of the bustling city became 'the playlist' for the day. I hated the sound of the city and still do. But today was different. I enjoyed it. It was... surprisingly refreshing.

Everyday, without a thinking, I'd stuff my earphones in my ear, choose a playlist on my iphone and press play. Giving no appreciation to any other noise other than what the little device in my hand had to offer. So much for trying to appreciate life, huh? Even though I did not particularly felt like listening to the same old songs I had, I just did it as if it was natural. It became a habit. A bad one I'd say. If I had my earphones today, I might not have had the chance to enjoy the awesome music the cafe I went to earlier today, had to offer. I must say, the cafes/book cafes in Tokyo have great music tastes.

I enjoy days like this. The pace seems to be different from usual.


Good Night. xo
