Not Even In Theory

Daily writing prompt
What would your life be like without music?

The thought of day-to-day life without music is unpleasant, a bit scary actually. From toddler age onward, music has always been an important part of me. Whether I listen to my favorite songs or sing them myself, music is a constant companion, more or less every day. Not only can my favorite tunes enhance my happiness, they are also a great comfort during sad or overwhelming periods, they take me on a stroll down memory lane, or calm my mind when life gets complicated upon occasion. Going through all the ups and downs without music will hopefully remain a theoretical scenario. While life without my favorite songs would be manageable, of course, the number of my “down days” would likely increase significantly. And that is something I can most definitely do without. In short, life without music, let’s not go there, not even in theory.
