So I just read something online that really resonated with me. It was about how art stays the same, but you change, so that when you are ready for it, you can appreciate it. It was about how not everyone has the same tastes and we are forever evolving, so something you might like now is not something that you will necessarily like in the future. ANd just beacause you don’t like something now, doesn’t mean that you can’t grow to appreciate it later. Like when I tried to read Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice when I was in my teens. I just couldn’t do it. I knew they were supposed to be good and the synopsis sounded good and I figured that I would like it but i just couldn’t get into it. and then 5 years later or something like that I picked them up and couldn’t pick them down. i remember seeing the characters in my mind and reading until I was exhausted, late into the evening. I became sort of obsessed with Austen and I had to read whatever I could get my hands on. And then there’s so many songs that i didn’t appreciate at all, which I now absolutely love and it’s inconceivable that i would think them to be terrible or unworthy of listening to, but it’s true. there was a time when I had no appreciation for those songs. I just experienced it again recently after going to that concert. I discovered a ton of music that I had never appreciated before.
