Drowning out the World

I find it interesting how many people find ways of drowning out the world and finding their own little world. There are many ways that one can go about doing this: drugs, alcohol, music, etc. People may want to drown out the world for numerous reasons. They may be stressed with the world and need to get away from it for a while. Another reason could be that the person just wants to drown out everything in this world and just be someplace where they can feel like that they are more than just one person in this huge world. Or the world has gotten too sad or depressing so people need to forget the fact that they live in such a world.

At times I find that I drown out the world. The method that I use is with music from my cd player. All I need to do is just pop in a cd, click play, and turn up the volume and I'm in my own world. Since I can't hear anything around me, so I guess I only care about whats in front of me. For exmaple, right now I'm listening to my cd player right now as I'm writing this entry. Things may be going on around me, but I don't know about it until someone taps me on the shoulder or shouts really really loud.

The reason that I would drown out the world is probably because at times I want to forget that in this world I'm only one insignificant person. Although I rarely feel like that, but one would probably be able to tell since I would have my headphones on listening to music.

Wow, what a depressing entry I guess its probably due to the gloomy mood since its been raining a lot lately.
