Learning to tune in

Hi, my name is Lux and I'm currently attending a school with the IB curriculum. In case you haven't noticed yet, I don't have many friends. However, the ones that I do have are inseparable. My home life can be pretty hectic which I'll explain later. I have three salvations when I'm home which includes cooking, reading books, and my music. Out of the three, I'd say that the music is most important to me but it's also great in combination with the other two. In my story, I am forced to take a pause from my music and tune into the world around me instead which at times I'll admit can be pretty amazing, but at other times leaves me feeling empty. How will this affect me as the story goes on you ask? Your guess is as good as mine.
