I flipped through the pages in my text book trying to figure out which story I would relate to the most. I was completely distracted and was having trouble focusing on the homework staring blankly back at me. All I could do was feel the sadness from a recent breakup. I came across this story and like I said previously the instant connection with music caught my attention. I love connecting to music and the impact it has on your life is truly magical. It has this free spirited power to take you to different times or events in you life. As I was reading this story about this man listening to music that his deceased wife left him, I became fully focused on the story. It engulfed me and my sadness was lost. He was able to remember the joyful times they shared together and the pain of missing her kept him interested in listening. This story helped me realize that it is okay to miss someone that was in your life and being sad is a way of coping to help you move on. I was able to share my emotions in my writing and could think about all of the wonderful times we shared, but ultimately this was a stepping stone into helping me let go.
