Outside noises are now a hymn to my ears..
I used to disconnect from the real world by stepping into my own little Bollywood universe, earphones on, songs playing, dreamy angles, romance everywhere. I would picture myself with my favourite person. Everything felt perfect in those 180–220 seconds. Sometimes, I would even add my own random sequences with the same person. I guess, that’s how we imagine the future...smiling randomly, then returning to reality.
But now, when I listen to the same songs, the same scenes replay in my head...him holding my hand...while all I’m left with is the pain he gave me. What once felt like an escape has now become a burden.
These days, my heart feels calmer listening to the unfiltered sounds outside my window. Traffic, wind, laughter, even my neighbour yelling...everything feels more soothing than the songs that were once my closest friends.
Outside noises are now a hymn to my ears. 🩷✨
