crickets

something i will always appreciate that not many people talk about are the cricket noises at night. i find it to be better than any song or any type of music in general. it’s just so calming, and i think it’s because they’ve been there my entire life, and they will be until the day i die. sure, there are songs that may give you the same feeling or hit the same, but it’s different, because i don’t have to play crickets on phone. they play on autopilot every single day. and it’s a good reminder for me to stay in the present, because they’re not too loud and they’re not too quiet. they’re the perfect volume, where if life gets too messy i can’t hear them. but if i just stop for a second to think and reflect about my life, i hear them very well.
