a radio listener

One of the most relaxing and peaceful things for me is to listen to the radio, often times while reading a book, or just laying down and thinking about stuff. Television, even when I am reading, comes off as nothing more than noise sometimes, and for whatever reason, makes my reading experience less relaxing and peaceful . . . . . . especially compared when listening to the radio. Television noise tends to be more disjointed, constant changes in volume and tone, inharmonious. As compared to music from the radio, which is melodious and smooth flowing.

When I partake in a radio listening night such as tonight, I can feel myself slowly relax and take a load off, I think back to nights in Valpo with the cool breeze coming in through my patio bringing the scents of spring; I think of times sitting in my room at college, listening to music for hours, and just letting go of everything. Each and every time, regardless of the type of music that's playing, its a peaceful experience, a relaxing moment. And as things continue to be a bit stressful at work due to common deadlines and such, it will do me good to remember these moments, and remember to employ more nights such as tonight, to help ease the build up of stress. To take a moment to pause and take a breath, and just be.
