It’s strange but listening again to music from about 20 years ago, during a time when I was mostly sad and depressed where the musical choices reflected that gives me a weird sense if nostalgia and longing for that time.
I know it’s not unusual for music to do that, that’s just run of the mill, it’s just odd that, it has me longing for a time and associated mood that, on the whole, I kind of didn’t really enjoy very much. The angsty tracks were what I listened to because I was so bummed out and dissatisfied.
Once every year or two I’ll pull up the song that I attempted suicide to and cry my eyes out for a while. It’s good to flex your emotions in a controlled space. Helps keep you well rounded, IMO.

As a fellow survivor of attempted suicide, I’m glad you’re here.
