I keep to myself

I used to play music on the radio to communicate my feelings, state of mind and various moods. I've written about that before, but what I have now is a very personal selection of music that only I know. That is the difference with the musical technology of today and yesteryear.
If I were young and dating, I'd have my prospective boyfriend listen to my ipod so that he would immediately have a sense of what and whom he was dealing with. For me music is the ultimate shorthand to the person that lives inside.
I liked being able to share other people's words that articulated my own. Now, I listen to the actual soundtrack of my life and still wonder who the fuck I am.
