Phases
I think if a biographer were ever to study the music I listen to or the books I read, (s)he would find some very interesting trends. I haven't paid too much attention to the patterns myself, because music and books are means of medication for me, and I don't want to start analyzing the behavior and ruin the effectiveness of the treatment.
But even I have noticed that, ever since about the time we filed for divorce, I haven't read any new books. And all I've listened to for music (excepting what I dance and choreograph to) is Disney tunes. Only the good Disney tunes. So that's what, 50 songs? And I've re-read HP, the Hunger Games, and now His Dark Materials. I don't know what that means exactly, but I know that starting this month I returned to my usual selection of music. And, even though I plan to re-read some more books, I'm open to something new after HDM.
I'm not sure what the biographer would make of it, but I think it's sort of about re-affirming my foundations in the wake of so much change. Checking over the things I love to make sure I have some idea of who I am.
In what seems like related news to me: I have never had an answer for questions like "What would you do if you had a million dollars?" and "What would you choose if you could have a superpower?" Well, I still don't have answers for a lot of those questions, but I got the superpower question the other day, and the answer popped out of me like it had always been there "Healing," I said. "Myself and other people."
