I don’t really have favorite artists or authors. What I connect with tends to happen You know, I don’t really have favorite artists or authors. It’s not that I don’t enjoy music or books—I do. But the things I end up loving don’t usually grab me the first time I hear or read them. They sort of… linger in the background.

Then, out of nowhere, something clicks. Maybe I’m in a certain mood, or I hear a song again after months, and suddenly it feels like it was meant for that exact moment. Same with books—I might read a line or hear someone mention a title I’d forgotten, and it just resonates. Not when I first came across it, but much later. It’s like the connection was waiting to happen.

Most of the songs I’ve replayed endlessly or the books I’ve really absorbed came to me this way—by chance, and at the right time. I know it’s not a big deal, and maybe it happens to everyone. But for me, it’s never about the first impression. It’s about when something aligns.

Does that happen to you too? Have you ever found yourself suddenly drawn to a song or a book long after you first encountered it—like it was quietly waiting for the right moment to speak to you?
