+In the past weeks I've come to rethink, what I see in music a little. I used to listen to a lot of music. At its peak I would even {l track|https://stats.fm/user/caesus?range=lifetime} how much I did, which pushed me even further. Every, or at least most moments that I would have the time for it, I would put on music, besides what I was already doing.

+A while back I read a post on really thinking about problems. I sadly don't remember the exact post to link it, neither was the main point it tried to make that relevant here. However it made me realize something - I don't ever take the time to really think about... anything really.
+Whenever I'm not doing anything I search for something else to do, when there's nothing audible playing yet I put some music on, when I'm watching something I search for a secondary task to keep me busy. So in the past weeks I've stopped this habit. It's been quite refreshing to think more about all the things I see again or just think about random things. I really enjoy just walking home or sitting in the train, simply thinking about stuff, without any music.

+Accordingly the selection of music I listen to has always adjusted a bunch. Listening to a lot of music, the collection of it I would listen to was quite large. Now I'm a bit more selective, with what I buy and listen to, as I really only listen to it when I acitvely decide to.
