The power of music

[nadriel]

I should really be more careful. I went out tonight to an Open Mic acoustic guitar night at a local club. Unfortunately, I went on my own was a mistake. See, I'm fairly vulnerable to good music, whatever emotion it is trying to evoke, and the musicians playing were good. But they were all playing melancholy pieces. And since I had no-one to talk to, my full attention (or at least as much as I ever have on one thing at a time) was on the music.

Suddenly, the weight of my woes was back on my shoulders. I decided to leave before I did something silly like bursting into tears in the dark corner I was sitting in.

Pity, because the music was very good. It was just inappropriately timed, as I still have a few old wounds that are prone to being reopened.

*sigh*

More cheerful posts again tomorrow, I promise.
