Music: it feeds the soul

Ever since I was a child music has been apart of my life.  Whether it be singing in a choir, listening to music in the car, or even the music from my dance recitals it has always been there.  It's like the annoying little sister, always there but you never really realized the full importance of it in your life.  Now that I'm older, and really think about it, music is the one thing that has always been constant in my life.  I mean think about it, old boyfriends or girlfriends have come and gone, clothes are used and then thrown away, but music is different.  It's everlasting.  What did you do when that boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you, well I know I was listening to music constantly.  Music is my escape, my one thing I can call my own, and know that it will always be around.  Music is the door to my soul, the way I express myself the most and an escape.  I need music, and I like it.  I may have never really fully recognized the impact it had in my life, but now that I really think about it, it's basically one of the most important parts of my life. 

Music has been around for ages, Beethoven was a master of music during the 1700s, 1800s, and today although it may not be a classical genius like Beethoven we have our masters of the art like Lady Gaga, Eminem, or whoever.  Even as time has changed, interest, and different styles of music have emerged music is still constant.  As music changes your preferences may change yes, but when you have rough times, or need a pick up or just want to jam out there will be some type of music there that you can always turn to. 

To me music is my way to be myself and get away from the world.  I love music.  I can't go a second of the day without listening to a song, singing a tune, or rocking out to my favorite song, it is a part of me.  I hate silence, it makes me uncomfortable, that is why I always have to have something going on and why music is such an important part of my daily routine.  If I was deprived of music, I honestly don't know how I would function, because I need it.  It calms me, makes me happy, and is soothing.  I never realized how much I needed it until I noticed myself singing in the shower, always having the radio blasted in my car, and how much my headphones were attached to my ears.  Music is the one thing I can always count on.  It will never let me down, leave me, or hurt me.  I can always count on it to help me get through those days when I don't want to do anything, and when all I want to do is dance; it is who I am.

Music is my soul. 

Love & Peace
