  • i've always found this to be quirky about myself. i don't know why *, but whenever i feel sad and down, i tend to listen to happy/energetic songs. perhaps i'm trying to subconsciously protect myself from sinking any further.

    the moment i'm happy though, all those restrictions and repressed emotions seem to come back like old friends, as if it's safe to listen to them now, and they're begging to be heard usually through sad music. honestly, i love sad music; it's my favorite. i don't even know if i truly like sad music for its own sake or because i listen to it when i'm happy, which might create a strong affiliation and bias towards it.

    let me share my latest favorite: (see: 'belle' by slimane). i've always found this to be quirky about myself. i don't know why *, but whenever i feel sad and down, i tend to listen to happy/energetic songs. perhaps i'm trying to subconsciously protect myself from sinking any further.
