Your taste in music changed three times since middle school. Proof that you’re still becoming someone.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Changing your mind about what you like gets called inconsistency, when it is mostly evidence that you are still moving. The person who loved that old music was not wrong, only earlier. Preferences shift because you keep meeting new things, and the worrying version would be the shift stopping altogether.

Think of something you used to love and have since left behind, and skip the embarrassment about it. Notice what it gave you at the time. Then try something well outside your usual lane this month, because that is how the next change gets started.
