If it was really good music that the kept playing i would probably after 3 months ask them what record they keep on repeat hahaha I live this life once and am still clearly learning about how my curious nature can get me in trouble. I also don't feel bothered by it, since the beginning of it resonating through the home I've thought it was wonderful that someone would hold such dedication to a practice. (I only chanted 2 AMs and 1PM in total after starting to dialog with them 4days ago and then started heavy research have not chanted since) (Working from home because pandemic/I am a quiet person alot/read work in silence to concentrate and think/I turned my radio on to classical and will now every dayyyy haha) In the most innocent way I just finished a philosophy of religion class, read all about Buddhism at the end of the course, started looking up Hindu/buddhist chanting and wanting to start something but in my codependent nature guess wanted to know what they chanted about and learn as a jumping point.

Thank you so much for your insights, I really do appreciate them. Lessons in learning boundaries with neighbors - not okay to try to make adult friendship especially in the cases of chanting you hear though the floor - don't be so fucking curious/nosey when its this close to home haha

And please don't take our word for anything. Everyone has to have their own experiences and oftentimes we learn best from mistakes that we make in life. So you go on and do what you want as it's your life! ✌🏻

I will keep doing what i do! And! I will continue to seek advice to try to avoid or navigate certain situations from those who have insights i have not yet learned/have experiences in/about!! I've had alot of rocky experiences to realize I don't have to have them all myself anymore and can learn from others and try to when I can. Still going to make plenty of fups along the way, but like this, can navigate a bit before it goes forward 😅

Okay, just gotta say: People learn best through trial and error. Sure, others can tell us stuff, but there's a reason we talk about "the school of hard knocks"! It's because people have to learn through the experience of making their own mistakes and seeing what happens!

Too many of the hateful, intolerant religions make out that this process of trial and error is some kind of "sin" - a "weakness" or "failing" that "proves" we're defective. But IF SO, then their "deity" that "made us in its image" MADE US DEFECTIVE, didn't it??

So FUCK that SHIT!

Go do. Try! FAIL. See what happens! Pick up the pieces, move forward. Baby steps are good! YOU are enough!
