If friends are like songs, then I have only two I can listen to at any moment.
Songs come and go in your life, holding different meanings at different times, telling different stories each time you hear them.
Some songs fit into a specific portion of your life - the song you loved in high school, the band you were more than a little in love with in college, and the one that you have loved as long as you can remember.
Sometimes songs lose their meaning. Sometimes you listen to a song and suddenly understand the lyrics. Sometimes you hear something in a song that means you can't ever listen to it again. And there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you grow away from your friends, realize you are not as close as you once were, or you hear a note in your relationship that you never noticed before. Because people change. And that is fine, and normal, and healthy.
I love music. I have a few hundred songs that I count as my favorites, and as it turns out, some days I just don't want to hear them. I am just not in the mood. This does not mean I don't like them, just that I need something different at that moment.
I am listening to a different style of music these days. I don't know why, but some of the music I have appeals to me now when this time last year I could not listen to it at all. And this stuff is pretty cool.
I don't know if this post is about music or about people. I think it is a bit of both. And that is fine by me.
