why do i like this?

when was the last time you listened to something, and truly thought “why do i like this?” not just… hey I like this… but really why. active listening, active thought. i think it’s a muscle we have to keep strong. i try to do this when i listen to artists i look up to. but sometimes i forget to do it with my own music. 

it might be beneficial to remember that when you make something, you have to live with it forever, so you better know why you like it. intention matters.
