I wish we lived a beautiful love song. But with every love song, there is a sad song to follow. I don’t know how to explain life, or love, or really anything for that matter. But I do know music. I know there are notes written on a paper and there are so many voices out in the world just waiting to play off of this new life that has been born in sound. Music can make you feel so many emotions. One with a light, upbeat tempo can make you happy, or even excited. A strong, loud song filled with a combination of minor and major chords can make you angry, or inflict a harsher emotion. A soft, slow song can make the happiest person sink into their loneliness to discover all the darker, deeper wounds that they’ve kept hidden for so long. That’s where music can lead people. Music is a life all on its own, and it has brought people up in this world, but also dropped them far below the view they wanted. Every song, every voice, and every melody has the power to kill, or the power to bring something to life. Maybe that is why music is so important in my mind. That is why it makes it easier for me to explain things. Music is a life. Music is in my life.

"I see the world and it seems like I see it so differently than most other people. It makes me really angry most of the time. Especially since no one ever listens to me or what I've got to say. I try to express myself in so many different ways and no one sees it. When I sing a song people will only care about how the music sounds or how much I swore. If I paint, people will see the picture but not the meaning. It seems so obvious to me but everyone just seems to... close their eyes. Or at least shut off their brain. As if I see things they don't. But when they don't listen, how can I communicate that to them? It's so frustrating." Allie is a high school student and has big plans to make the world a better place. But her own head is pitting against her, throwing rocks in her path on a daily basis. Everything seems to be great for a while but what happens when her world suddenly comes crashing down around her? Can she ever recover? A coming-of-age story that deals with mental ilnesses, grief, first loves and family, briefly taps into the subject of religion and will likely enrapture you. Trigger warning: mental illnesses, self harm, death, dealing with grief, mentions of guns and gun control, mentions of cults, mentions of homophobia, dissociation. Names of bands, band members and song titles have been changed but at this point I want to credit mainly Palaye Royale, the band 'Homesick Soldiers' that is mentioned throughout is heavily based off them, but I'm sure if you're familiar with them you would have been able to tell that :)
