starring you as yourself

you're going about with your daily life, with your companionable headphones jammed over your head, and quite abruptly, the forces of life align themselves to present a significant yet equally unimportant phenomenon: your music player randomly selects a number that seems just right for the moment.

it could be a ridiculous happy song accounting the rarity of a cloudless azure sky above, or a heavy metal piece that echoes your exasperation from work; an unabashed love song as you spy your lover waving at you from across the road, or a power ballad at midnight as you rush out a deadline.

and whichever the case, if the world's one big truman's show, starring you as yourself, then what you've just heard, my dear, was a soundtrack of your life.
