Okay so I read RY's last post about liking music after it becoming a decision she made one her own, and that's totally something called Justification of Effort. There was a Psychology study done where subjects were told to do a horribly boring task, then paid either $1 or $20 to tell the next participant that is was super fun.
Guess who reported they actually liked doing the boring task more? The people who were paid only $1 said they liked it more--because they had absolutely no other reason to like it (since they didn't get much money).
So, RY is just trying to justify all the work she put into music by pretending she actually likes music.
Or she actually likes it haha but that's why she liked it more after choosing to pursue it ;)
Okay nerd rant over. See, Psychology is applicable to real life!
