Work has been more draining than usual in the past couple of weeks, and then the other day as I sat at my desk wishing so much for the hours to tick by faster, I remembered that the one good thing about that job is that we're allowed to use earphones all the time... and so I started listening to what I can only call settling music to my ears... People around me were chatting, bothering me with questions, trying to distract me, but I was losing myself in Beethoven over and over again. What a blissful escape from the almost constant dreariness of the modern workplace.

Without music, truly Life would be a mistake.

Traveling down the river Styx, hopeless shadow of what I once was, I remember a little girl who would have been good. I remember the one that should have been and stare at the fraud that took her place, reflected in the dark waters of Nowhere.

Jotted down so many years ago, but I'm moving away from it now. Well, that's the aim. Breaking (old) patterns seems like the next logical step.
