"What?"

If I go deaf at an early age - which seems extremely likely considering how many times I respond with "what?" - it will be completely worth it. Nothing compares with the joy of walking home, headphones tucked neatly in my ears, thumb pushing the volume up, to create a moment of self-containment - just me and music and complete satisfaction. This happened today walking home from class. Just now, actually. I couldn't stop smiling, it felt so perfect.
