I have songs that fit specific parts of my life; people, places, special occasions, etc. I'm sure we all do. I was letting my mind wander on it's own for a while (which can be a dangerous endeavor) and a song came on that I have already placed for the certain person I was thinking about moments before.
Sometimes, I am overwhelmed with giggles when it works out like that. As if my music player and I have an unworldly connection. Other times, it's a musical choice that couldn't be more inconvenient. Thoughts exist at times that we rather not. Every now and then a song comes along on the playlist that reminds me of a thought I just tried to escape. Once this happens, a horrific* event begins to unfold. My music player and I must have that unworldly connection, a sort of love hate relationship.Once it plays the one song I wish it wouldn't, the cycle continues as it plays various other songs with a similar effect. And so the downward spiral begins..... I usually force this to end by choosing a happier song, or at least one with a different significance.
I knew from the start that I was over involved (something to explain another time). I know I should walk away now, but who does what they should on the first try?
Take home message: The existence of this "questionable relationship" my technology and I have makes it harder to walk away when I know I should.
*horrific - used lightly of course. ;)
