Hey guys,
I wanted to make a journal-style post this time, so I hope you don't mind.
I've been having a hard time sleeping: turning off my bedroom light only to bring my laptop on my lap, sitting on my bed, surfing fanfiction and social media sites. I have been listening to ASMR (see previous blog post about ASMR), and it's nice (I love the tingly sensations I get from listening to it), but it doesn't always help me fall asleep (because I'm doing other things on the computer, like reading fanfiction and tweeting about every little thing and thought). My eyes are hurting though. They're a bit sore and achy whenever I do close my eyes, so that's a problem. I definitely need to sleep...I guess I've just been going to bed late, usually in the 1 to 2 AM range. Which is bad. Because I need my rest. The body needs rest in general. My mind just wants to keep going and take in every Tom Hiddleston pic and Avengers fanfiction out there. TMI? ;)
You people been getting your recommended 6-8 hours of sleep? You better be...Gah, who am I to judge. I've been getting 7-ish when I really need 10-12 XD

Music Selfishness
I love music. And I love finding new music. Recently, I've found a lot of stuff from "lesser-know" [Canadian] artists and it's all amazing! I wish it was easier to find new music...
Anyway, what I wanted to say was that I'm very selfish about my music. I mean, when I find a song or an artist I love immediately, I want to spread the word about it/him/her. However, sometimes when you post a good song on social media, no one ever really listens to it. I've definitely been guilty of this: scrolling through my news feed on Facebook, for example, and passing a YouTube music video one of my friend's has dubbed "the best ever."
Then again, there are other times when I share a song with a friend and they get super into it and/or the artist too. This is where the selfishness comes in: I want to keep the artist to myself and not have other people obsess over him/her. Although it's good for the artist when more people know about him/her because fame/money is one of the ultimate goals for singers (right?), I would rather keep him/her to myself.
Alas, this will never be, because someone else might accidentally stumble onto this person as well, and I have no control over that. So I have a very hypocritical way of looking at music I love ;)
Do any of you guys feel the same way?
