The part about feeding yourself anyway instead of turning the hurt into punishment..? That hit me hard... that kind of care is so quiet and so hard won.
I care, sweet Meera. I felt your words, the heaviness, everything. It's important that you didn't abandon or punish yourself, but fed yourself - basic self-care - and let yourself feel all of it. Sending you so much warmth and care tonight, and hope to hear from you tomorrow.
It's ok to feel a bit stuck, a bit heavy, wronged but unclear how. It's human, and it's a sign you can sit with it, ask it what it is and what it wants. And if the singing is too hard now, try walking. Try cooking something you love. Try going back to happy Meera just to see how she's doing.
I play music to start every day. I switch up between different channels: jazz, classical, piano, cello, …. Helps me from over thinking and tends to lift my spirits. Hang in there!
You can say don’t read this to people, that makes us more curious.
This was so raw. I understand some of those feelings. I’ve learned to feel my feelings only recently too. Maybe just listen to some music if you’re not up to playing it.
I try to give a disclaimer, Matt sometimes for those who might not have the emotional bandwidth for something heavy in that moment but i see how it could do the opposite..
thank you for seeing me through this.
Today is another day though and it’s a little lighter but we move slowly :)
Thank you for sharing this Jen. This sounds so .. heartwarming. Ive never thought about it the way you have written it, but ive often used music to share my feeling..
maybe in a quiet way .. it was me hoping people would see me without asking to..
i listen to almost everything under the stars, even in languages i don’t understand.
Recently there’s one called “Lagrima” which is music, I feel deeply.. i keep returning to it.. hoping i can play it one day when i finally learn to play the Classical guitar. It’s a goal without a timeline.. just something to look forward in the future.
Thank you for engaging so meaningfully always ♥️
Hope your preparation for your art shows are going well 🫶

It is. Thanks Asuka for staying with this piece. ❤️

Thank you! That’s a sweet message. Today, I’m optimistic but keeping my fingers crossed♥️
Your introspection already puts you a step ahead of many, even though it still hurts.

Sounds wonderful. 🫶
I listen to them too depending on my mood.
On most mornings though I try to play the tanpura on YouTube .. it tends to make me feel grounded, also helps with ear training..

Also know, you are not alone.

'I'm excited for the art, because paintings need to be seen in order to fulfill their greater purposes, beyond me...’
this is so wise also this kind of detachment i think is good as it helps keep a healthy distance of one’s worth and the art..
Writing the music’s name .. hmm .. i love this!
that’s so warming.. it’s like preserving the moment of creation in frequencies ♥️
Thank you for sharing the link. ♥️
Will listen and see what comes up for me :)
