My partner had introduced me to AR Rahman’s music. Love and Rahman’s music were inseparable to my mind. But then our relationship turned abusive and each time I heard Rahman’s voice I recoiled.

@ladkidyutiful this was such a beautiful read! I've lost a lot of cherished music and other art forms because of traumatic memories associated with them and it's very reassuring to hear that it is possible to someday overcome that. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
