Not wearing headphones

I have had an ear infection the last couple of days and I literally cannot wear headphones without considerable pain. the unintended benefit of this is that I’ve had to walk my dog without music blasting and it’s so nice. we have a cacophony of bird sounds in the late afternoon/evening here in Australia (magpies, cockatoos, lorikeets, plovers) and usually my music drowns this out, but having no headphones means I have to listen to the sounds and it’s low key beautiful. the sounds of nature are beautiful. noticing the birds is beautiful. life is richer than we realise if we choose to notice and listen to the sounds around us instead of insulating ourselves from them.

walking around the city without headphones

my headphones broke recently, so i’ve been wandering without them! to be honest, especially in a city like boston, ira beautiful. no, this is not cope for my broken headphones. boston really comes alive in the spring and summer, and that is the PERFECT time to wander around and listen to the ebbs and flows of traffic, chirping birds, arguing drivers, and footsteps on the sidewalk. there’s something i find very calming and pretty about these sounds. going to try not to wear my new headphones 24/7 :)

NOT WEARING HEADPHONES IN PUBLIC

I‘ve always been an adamant listener of music while on walks, at a cafe, etc. but recently I’ve feeling more anxious, more disconnected than usual. Not listening to music has helped me feel significantly more grounded, more aware of my surroundings, connected to the world around me. Also, strangers will definitely be more inclined to speak to you if they know you can hear them. If you’re into that sort of thing.
