I have been going to therapy lately. I’ve had about four or five sessions. It’s going really well and I’m glad I finally did it (with a strong insistence from someone very close to me). We’ve talked about a broad range of things, but it’s helped me a lot with my self confidence and self worth.
One of the things I’ve been working on is not being embarrassed to like things. More so, not being embarrassed to like mainstream or “popular” things. Don’t get me wrong: I love very popular things in many fields. But a big part of my adolescence and young adulthood was rejecting the popular; was based around finding a niche that would make me feel my own sort of superior.
I’m sure I knew then but I’m at a point now where I know that’s not a fun way to live, nor is it a healthy way to live.
This is all to say I’ve been listening to Abbey Road pretty much consistently for the past five days. It’s a good album! I don’t know what else to say, really. Is it the greatest album ever? I don’t know. But it’s a rewarding feeling to start a new process like challenging yourself to listening to one new album a week, front to back, and being rewarded so highly.
It could be someone’s best and it could be someone’s worst. But for me it’s pretty good and I know I’m not making any new discoveries about anything else, and that’s ok.
