He surrounds himself with music, collecting records, making mixtapes, and working at a record store. Music is the lens through which he views the world, the soundtrack to his life. However, as Rob navigates the ups and downs of his relationships, he begins to question the role that music plays in his life. He starts to wonder if his obsession with music is a way of avoiding dealing with the real issues in his life. Is music a shield that he hides behind, preventing him from truly connecting with others? Is his love for music a substitute for deeper emotional connections? As Rob reflects on his past relationships and his current state of mind, he realizes that music has been both a source of comfort and a barrier to intimacy. His obsession with music has allowed him to escape into a world of lyrics and melodies, shielding himself from the messiness of human relationships. But it has also prevented him from fully engaging with the people around him, including his long-term girlfriend Laura. In his quest to understand himself better, Rob delves into the reasons behind his obsession with music. He examines how music has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his worldview. He grapples with the idea that perhaps his obsession with music is a way of avoiding facing his fears and insecurities. Through his introspection, Rob comes to a deeper understanding of himself and his relationship with music. He begins to see that while music will always be an important part of his life, it should not be a substitute for genuine human connection. He realizes that in order to truly connect with others, he must first confront his own fears and insecurities, rather than hiding behind his obsession with music.
