Listen to your own sountrack.

I got unplugged a while ago, I don't even really know when.
I got too distracted with the outside world. The 'shoulda-coulda-woulda's', the chasing a career goal, the achieving, the to-do lists.

I became so obsessed with what was going outside, that I forgot how to listen to what was going on inside. No wonder I've been so confused, disperse, scattered. Without that inner guidance, I was somewhat lost. Surviving, yes, even living, but was I living how I wanted? And what was this feeling of 'sailing down a river', staying afloat but without a conscious direction?

So in order to grab the steering wheel, to dismount everything that needs re-doing, and to build it from the ground up... I need to plug back in. Get that jack on and listen to that inner soundtrack as if I were learning a new language. There are many periods of silence, and the volume is definitely low. But I've been told the more I listen, the louder it gets.
