4.06.25: Loud Music

I can’t handle loud music anymore—like, bars and clubs just wreck me now. Not that I go out that often, but when I do, it’s brutal. The noise is overwhelming in the moment, and then the next day I feel completely fried. My head hurts, my body’s off, and I need like twelve hours of silence to reset. It’s not even about getting older—it just feels like my tolerance for that kind of stimulation vanished. I still enjoy going out sometimes, but I always regret the volume. Why is everything so unnecessarily loud? We get it—you have speakers. Relax.
