Wired headphones

I like using wired headphones. It’s not that special cause I’m sure a lot of people use them but I like them because there is something so physical about them. For example, when I leave my phone and stand to get up it reminds me that I’m leaving something behind. It’s kind of like asking me to stay, I kind of like that. I also like how you can still hear the world around you. Yes, your music is playing and you’re not completely present but it helps you be aware of where you are. Of course it can be an inconvenience when you’re drowning out the voices of your parents yelling because they are not noise canceling. I also like how they get tangled up. Yes it can be annoying but I really like how you kind of have to unravel them like a puzzle. Untie every knot. Untie every loop. Untie it all until it’s usable again. But you can always use tangled headphones but I can never truly listen unless the volume button is resting in its appropriate position against the strap of my bag. Why is that? I guess it’s just because I got used to the comfort of my headphones being untangled when my life was the complete opposite. Maybe that’s why I like them, because their nothing like my life. Grounded, Enigmatic, and Untangled. I like wired headphones they are nostalgic of a simpler time. A time where my biggest worry was finding a matching sock not a matching shade to cover up the scars. I like them because they make me feel like a main character in a teen summer movie from the 90s when right now I am always the background character: an extra in someone else’s life. I like wired headphones because they make me feel important not pathetic like everything else in my life.
