Music Is Great

Music is great.

The way the lyrics flow off the tip of the artist's tongue, how the instruments move the song along with their constantly changing rhythms and dynamics.

It's quite magical.

For me, music is a source of comfort. It can calm me down when I feel like punching a wall or help me feel better when I feel like crying over something seemingly stupid. When I think of doing something stupid or something that I know I'll regret later, I turn on a soothing song to take my mind off of it.

Music is a lifesaver.

With all of the stresses life brings upon me, whether it being school, my social life (pfft as if that's a thing) or just little things that I can't stop thinking about, it's nice to have something to lean on that I can always count on being there when I need it.

I think way too much.

When I say this, it really isn't an over exaggeration. Some days I will literally go into my room, lay down on my bed and not do anything but search through my mind for bits and pieces of things I have yet to figure out or make sense of. I do this at least once a day most days for about thirty minutes or so depending how much I want to avoid life.

Music helps with this though.

When I feel like doing that, I try and tell myself to do something else instead, to keep my mind away from shutting everything out. Listening to music is as perfect of a 'solution' as you could ask for. Instead of thinking about meaningless things that most likely won't ever effect me, I analyze song lyrics for hidden meanings that I can relate to and feel a connection with.

I even make music for myself sometimes.

Whether it's writing out sheet music to express how my emotions are constantly battling for attention in my head, or creating lyrics for songs I'll never be able to find just the right melody for, it all just seems to calm the anxiety that's always present in my head.

I can wholeheartedly say that if there was no such thing as music, I would most definitely be 100X more depressed than I am right now. It has helped me sooo much through so many difficult situations with my family and inner self hating issues.

Music is simply great.
